Ive been meaning to post this for a few months now:
In previous posts I stated that i was having issues with getting hot water from my ss370.

I stated that i thought air cooled engines lacked to ability to produce hot water as well as water cooled engines. I even assembled make shift pre-water heaters to get hotter water.

It turned out the issue wasn't the design. My units control panel facade was damaged during shipment. The facade was replace with the newer, better looking panel. Some of the wires and vacuum hoses were not re-connected to new panel properly. The Bimba also needed to be lubed.

I'm impressed with how well this little machine works and is ideal for an older cleaner who moves a little slower now. IMO the bigger machines are faster if the worker can take advantage of the extra power.

Did you install a tachometer and adjust your RPMs to 3100?
Yes on installing the tach, but im scared to run it at 3100rpm. Usually just 2950max.
Maybe ill increase rpm after i install new belts and do major 500 hr service items.
