I'm impressed with the suck on my "New" to me
CDS 4.7. It's pretty damn good. I've finally got the van to where I can work out of it without cursing all the time because none of the fittings are uniform. I've got a lot to do on installing the waterpond and APO. I found the wires for the APO but scratching my head on the water transfer switch wires. I think I may have a bad switch. I'll keep poking around with my volt meter.
As far as driving the Lima Bean Special, it certainly smaller than my Promaster. I feel like a sharp shooter. I can get in and out of places no problem.
My feral cat has done about 20 jobs with the Lima Bean. I don't know how he functions with how everything was setup. I just couldn't handle it. I spent yesterday pulling out every last piece of hose and equipment and rebuilding from scratch. Yes Mikey, I even now have 25' 4 to the door that you love to laugh at me about. So much fun!
The solution hose that came with the van was a bit of a joke. It's some type of orange hose that feels like a balloon when under pressure. It likes to kink and has a memory to it so it likes to coil up. I took off the first 100' and replaced it with new. I'll keep the Balloon line onboard as backup.
The machine came with a Blistor filter. Let me tell you, that thing is such an awkward POS to work with. Tom's filter is so much better in so many ways. But until I can plop down the money, I'm stuck with a Blistor. Can someone start a go-fund-me for me?
