BIG SECRET
None of hopping model was sold when I built this 64 in 1993 .
So I had to use my brain to put it together. And many junk parts. The main item was a small & strong
solenoid. I tried to use a Ford solenoid but it was too big. Then, a friend of mine gave me
a motorcycle solenoid (was inside of the voltage regulator). It was taken from his old motorcycle
(Yamaha TX750). And it was perfect size! However, was not strong enogh for making it jump too high.
Then I put some lead weights in the trunk. Woo! This trick made it hop just like real one.
And I connected a real hyd switch. And Everyone could hop very high even
my wife could do it. but I felt something missing.
And I did not like everyone can hit the switch and hop high.
I wanted to make the switching work more difficult just like real hopper.
I am mean & perverted.
BINGO!
I GOT A GREAT IDEA FOR MAKING IT REAL.
You know what I did? Guess what I used ?
I used a broken electric dildo.
I mean I just used the electoric cotrole switch of the broken dildo. not main part of
dildo. ( A worm gear inside of main part was worn out. So I threw the dick part away.)
The elctoric controle swich became variable resistor controller of the hopping switch.
This controller makes the power of battery weak.
And it makes the switching very difficult as a real single pump hopper.
PEACE!
