Thoughts on prochem everest hp?

[Cleantechsk]

Looking at a used unit around 6 years old with 3k hours. From what I know so far used by a restoration company.

not a 650.
49 nissan engine - efi
408 blower

thoughts on this unit?

the nissan engine is very reliable. i don't know the unit so a lot depends on the layout of other components. i always wonder about the low hours on machines, are they disconnecting the meter. it doesn't seem plausible that a 6 year old machine would only have 3k.

3k hours on the Nissan, she is barely broke in.

its a backup unit that was purchased when some major flooding happened. Pretty big disaster.

Not a huge company so this thing normally sits im told.

Ours sit a lot too. They sit and wait for an emergency. Those units are not used hard, sounds like it would be a good purchase depending on the sale price. Prochem makes great machines, especially the big machines.

I have one (non HP model). EFI is great. Here are a few problems to consider....

1. Throttle body will need rebuilt periodically. Might be a good idea to have a spare to swap while the other is rebuilt.

2. Computer may need reflashed periodically. I went through two after 1100 hours. Haven't had any problems since then. Again, might be a good idea to have a spare to swap in case any problems do arise.

That's about it. Otherwise, you'll have a strong, mostly reliable machine. Here's a list of other spare parts I would keep available to avoid down time:

1. Complete set of belts. We replace every two years
2. Spare switches. They do go out from time to time.
3. If it comes with an APO (automatic pump out), have a few diaphragms on hand.
4. Tune up parts. It will need tuned up every two years (plugs, cap, wires, air filter).
