Vortex Owners: Have You Experienced This?

[Ron Werner]

my first thought was about mine that would bog down under load, it was the airfilter to the engine.
If its randomly bogging down, is it bogging down from the engine or the machine itself

I will try to remember that Doug. I thought his name was Gladamer, Glad for short. Maybe that’s why he won’t return my calls lol. Any how I have bought a few upgrades for my 777 V from them one being the Vac relief valve pictured in the posts here. I need to cut a hole and weld a flange to my tank to retro fit the new valve. The only problem with the valve I have now is that it sounds like a rattle snake when in use. So can any of you with V's fitted with the new valve tell me if the valve requires more maintenance? Also is all that dirty air good for the blower? My old hydramaster had the relief valve located on the tank before the mesh filters. My thought is that if any of the valve parts fail or break off they will end up in the blower. That would suck literally.
