    I have a Mi-T-M 2403 and it is an EXCELLENT unit. Honda 13 hp . They use a serpintine belt that runs down to a magneto discharge unit that fires the burner, blower and pump. They are very compact and thier cusomer service is the best in the industry I have ever experienced.

    The only weakness is the belt for the unit. Keep a spare, they are a 4 rib serpentine and are durable like a cars serpintine . Ony thing to to change one out you have to unbolt the pump to get to the belt once you do it it can be done in 20 mins with a wrench and a 4.5mm long handles allen wrench. I called for info on mine and had 2 servcice techs answer it and one even called back to see if we had the machine back up and running and if we needed any further help.

    Is that the machine that uses a Briggs flywheel and mag coil for ignition, and the belt goes through a cutout in the flange of the Faip pump?

    The outlet piston was stuck. After freeing it the bogging of the engine seemed to be resolved. I also took Paul's advice and fixed a couple leaks down the line. The problem now is that there are no leaks but the unloader is cycling every couple seconds. Any thoughts on this matter?

    If you've made sure ALL downstream leaks are fixed, then check this...

    Back the knob off enough to move the spring up a bit. Put a wrench on the flats below the spring and take it out. Ther should be o rings on the piston at the end of the stem. If there aren't or if they're torn, a couple of quick coupler o rings will fit. Can't recall ATM whether the 1/4 or 3/8 fit, but one of them does. Grease it up and put it back in.

    Butyl cleaners are good for burn residue...I used to clean the glass in my Buckstove with it. Either that, or Windex and a raxor blade. The butyl made the crusty black film rinse right off.

    Look for cleaners (Purple Power, Krud Kutter, Greased Lightnin', etc.) with any of these chemical names listed in the ingredients panel:

    Synonyms: .beta.-Butoxyethanol, 111-76-2, 2-Butossi-etanolo, 2-Butoxy-1-ethanolButossi-etanolo [italian], 2-, 2-Butoxy-aethanol, 2-Butoxy-aethanol [German], 2-Butoxyethanol, 2-Butoxyethanol (ethylene glycol monobutyl ether), 3-Oxa-1-heptanol, 4-01-00-02380 (Beilstein Handbook Reference), 52663-57-7, AI3-09903, AI3-0993, BRN 1732511, BuCs, Butoksyetylowy alkohol, Butoksyetylowy alkohol [Polish], Butoxyethanol, Butoxyethanol, 2-, Butyglycol (FRENCH, GERMAN), Butyl cellosolve, Butyl cellu-sol, Butyl glycol, Butyl Oxitol, Butylcelosolv [Czech], Butylglycol [French,German], Caswell No. 121, CCRIS 5985, Chimec NR, Dowanol EB, EGBE, EGMBE, EINECS 203-905-0, Ektasolve EB, EPA Pesticide Chemical Code 011501, Eter monobutilico del etilenglicol [spanish], Ethanol, 2-butoxy-, Ether monobutylique de l'ethyleneglycol [French], Ethylene glycol butyl ether, Ethylene glycol mono-n-butyl ether, Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether [uN2369] [Keep away from food], Ethylene glycol n-butyl ether, Ethylene glycol, monobutyl ether, Gafcol EB, Glycol butyl ether, Glycol ether EB, Glycol monobutyl ether, HSDB 538, Jeffersol EB, LS-539, Monobutyl ether of ethylene glycol, Monobutyl ethylene glycol ether, Monobutyl glycol ether, n-Butoxyethanol, NSC 60759, NSC60759, O-Butyl ethylene glycol, Poly-Solv EB, UN2369, ZINC01690437

    The more butyl, the better, although it's hard if not impossible to tell by a retail label ( go to the manufacturers' websites and see if you can get an MSDS on the product.)

    ...or call me. I've got a 6% butyl, and a butyl / caustic mix.

    Burning ants is no less cruel to tham than me having to take my 10 year old daughter to a Jonas Bros. concert. I had no clue that 20000 screaming girls between 10 and 15 could be so loud. When we walked out I felt like telling the parents waiting at the gate for their daughters they were cowards. Boy, I wish I would have taken ear plugs.

    Kinda felt like an ant under a magnifying glass, huh?...:D
