If you need a 9 mole surfactant, I've got N 9.5 (same thing) that I can let you have for $15.00 / gallon. Ken, next time you need raw materials, call me.

Thanks, Adrian. I appreciate the kind words. Scott, I don't know what to think about a man who can't keep track of his dipstick...

Unloader Theory Pt2
Russ Johnson replied to 4running's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
You're right on the nozzle size. Your running problem could just be not enough warm up time. Modern small engines are required by the EPA to run lean. A lean mixture in a cold engine doesn't support horsepower very well. -
I can get window cleaning supplies...don't stock them. But if you know what you need, I can order them for you.

Brenntag sells the 15 gal jugs and 55 gallon drums. Call them. They're over off Ralph Ave between Dixie and Cane Run.

You could always run it up to Louisville to see me.

Try Brenntag. They're over off Ralph Avenue.

Need a little help please -
Russ Johnson replied to netspider's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
Pull both plugs and hook them up to the wires. Set them both where they can ground against the engine, and crank the engine over to check for spark at both plugs. I have gotten spark plugs that are bad out of the box. Vannys also have a wire that runs from coil to coil, then to ground. This wire has 2 diodes in it. If one diode burns out, one coil will ground out the other. -
What brand and model number is the machine?

Unloader Bypass Problem
Russ Johnson replied to bulletproof's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
You can remove the TRV ( the fitting in the lower hole), install a "T", put the TRV back in the end of it, and install a barb for your bypass return. -
Unloader Bypass Problem
Russ Johnson replied to bulletproof's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
You need to bypass to the fitting below the pop off valve. Get some braided vinyl tubing so it'll last, and get an oilcap. -
Pressure spike
Russ Johnson replied to Andrew Bandarovich's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
The unloader should kick out at 10% above operating pressure, so you should unload at about 3850 psi...4000 isn't too far off. The pressure climb could be: hot water expansion in the line, or a slight damage to the o ring on the outlet piston in the unloader, allowing water to seep past it into the hose. -
My Honda's pull cord is stuck...
Russ Johnson replied to gtitan56v8's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
While the plug is out, put a screwdriver down the hole and turn it backwards to see if the piston is moving. -
My Honda's pull cord is stuck...
Russ Johnson replied to gtitan56v8's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
That would be my first step. If the carb has leaked any gas into the cylinder, it'll dead head on the compression stroke. Pull the plug, make sure the switch is off, and rapidly pull the cord 5 or 6 times to blow the gas out. -

Good deal, Kyle. -
My New Hotsy Machine
Russ Johnson replied to 4running's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
The bands will have to be cut, so you can't reuse them. Hydro Tek uses extra long hose clamps to fasten the tanks down. Post some pics of the unloader setup. You'll probably have go through a Hotsy distributor for parts, as they are proprietary. -
I think that's an Admiral Pump. Used to be distributed exclusively by Spraymart. They've switched to the Legacy brand, but parts are still available for the Admirals. Isn't there a sticker on the slanted part of the rear crankcase cover? It should have the model number on it.

what over steps the line as a biz owner with fellow contractors
Russ Johnson replied to all florida's question in Residential Pressure Washing
If you spend too much time worrying about what your competition is doing, you don't have time to grow your own business. -
Look at my rig drawings and tell me what Im missing!
Russ Johnson replied to zhamilton89's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
Zach, put the pressure washer on the front of the trailer. The rear is the bounciest place on the trailer. -
Alkota Hot Water Pressure Washer...Blowing pop off valve
Russ Johnson replied to mlaurenza's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
Does it pop off while spraying or when the gun is released? Could be the unloader is set too high or the pop off is not set high enough or is bad. -
Hi, Shannon. Great to see you around here.

Pressure regulated throttle control . Where to buy it ?
Russ Johnson replied to MichiganPowerWashing.com's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
Who told you that, William? That is not so at all, unless the engine is charging the battery or turning a generator for hot water use. Think about a Volkswagen... -
PW weird pressure problem
Russ Johnson replied to 808powerwash's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
That's a sign that you're K7 is getting weak. Might last a year, might last 2 months. It will eventually need to be replaced.
