tell me why..

[Mikey P]

Going to replace the hose between the pump and the regulator in the AM

 

[Jim Martin]

After doing a bit of research on mine...that check valve right after the HX could be your restriction....could of been the problem from the get go and in time has gotten worse....

Box is going in the mail today...the check valve is bigger then the one that is on there but way much better....and will open that flow.....

 

[Jim Martin]

To bad you don't have a battery sitting back there......

If there's a filter between the fresh tank and pump make sure the seal is good and not sucking air.

Check or replace the hose between the fresh water tank and the pump.

Side note: Once I had a gallon of stripper contaminate my fresh water tank. I didn't know it but the pump was cavitating.

Jim Martin sent me a new V specific regulator and all is good again'


phew :!: :!: :!: :!:


Thanks Jim!


See you at MF!!!

It's been a bitch to dual wand with my defective pump. It's all good now though. New valves and seals made all the difference. Heat is back to where it should be, and the truck is organized to the T. Now all I have to do is make some money.

 

[Mikey P]

I hear that if you clean your heat exchangers real well your tires last longer.

 

[sam miller]

You feel loss at the wand with psi? no pop? If not maybe your pressure gauge is going bad!

My old 405 in low speed setting wont go over 5 hg,10 in high speed and in low the engine rpm goes up and down.

I think I need new spark plugs or a rebuilt carburator or its the govenor. My tech is gonna take it soon and look it over i'm not smart enough.

or its the govenor

That would be my guess. It's not getting the rpm's it needs to create higher CFM.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

We added tachometers to our 405's. About $30.

i love it Heathro.and there aint no scale buildup :mrgreen:

I put new spark plugs and adjusted the relief and it works great for a machine with 9500 plus hours!

Oh ya glad You got hooked up Mike. next time I'll read all the post's before I interject DUHHHH.

Hey Jim,

Thanks for the reply on this. Somehow I missed it. My old machine has a different pump then Mikes (I think it's the same as the one he replaced). It goes to 3000 psi - which is never used. Should I get the white spring? Or go with the blue. Thanks

 

[Jim Martin]

I would go with the white spring......

Depending on plumbing you may be able to prove this by severely restricting the bypass outlet, (which is usually routed back to the low pressure inlet side of the pump, either directly, into a waterbox, or into the fresh water tank.)

We check the regulator by crimping the bypass hose with a wand spraying.

If the pressure increases . . .

the regulator is bypassing (defective).
