nice, getting on the water is always good

sooo not being so aged.. do you use a whip on your 1.5 dev?
Yes. We love it. By “We” I mean Macy and myself. Macy thanks me every day for cracking open my wallet and buying that wand for her. The whip also makes stairs easier. I use a hard plastic coil on it to keep it from bending in half and cutting off the suction. I also use Amflex hose for the passed 4 years. Good stuff.

How's it coming?
It’s coming. It’s been awhile since I’ve been able to work on it. Almost a year. The truth is, i was at a point where it just seemed to daughting to dig into it. But today i just took it one thing at a time. Today i got the starter, exhaust manifolds, cooling system, fuel lines, distributor, plug wires, and some other misc things put back together.

I have left to do the following: power steering, drain old fuel and refill, get a battery, steering punp, alternator, belts, order a dip stick, shifter linkage, lower unit, electrical, and carborator

Pretty much everything is a cakewalk, but that shifter lingage worries me. Its a mess and attaches to the engine somehow. I’ve been searching the internet for a good video or schematic of how the assembly goes together. Just going to take a little time, but I’ll figure it out.

I know you've had a lot on your plate lately. Nice to see you doing something for yourself. You've done a ton of work so far, it will be worth it in the end.

Anyone who needs a 1.5" whip hose is a pansy. Put a 2" hose back on that wand and go to work. Mikey, who started this junk, is just looking for excuses for getting out of shape from being a 9to6 carpet cleaner to 11to1. The muscles start to get relaxed and can't handle the jobs with good suction. So be like Marty who has the pinhole glide and be like Mikey who has the 1.5" whip hose. "It's just an extra 2hrs of dry time." bs

I highly doubt the 2% agrees with this nonsense

2" flexible hose as a whip to the wand, whether the wand is 2" or 1.5".

What I haven't seen mentioned here is using a controlled air leak within the vacuum system for optimum performance, using less fuel and longer life to truckmount components.

Of course I use LP for heat, so I don't need to dance all around heat exchanger(s).

I was doing a job in a gated community last week, and down the street from my client was a competitor already working. As I drove by, I noticed he/she was running 1 1/2” all the way from the van.... WTF?
Do people not know about FLOW?
He don’t need wall guards pulling that shiet

All foolish theories.

Both my 650 and the 370 are producing beautiful results with ultra high performance wands and whips that idiot know-it-alls like Larry could only dream of.


I'm sure it's life changing

wait til you try this drip free caulk gun..it's epic
