Has anyone tried that "Restora" they advertise on tv? Looks like an easy to apply sealant and color restorer.

For maximum flexibility, a rubber hose, like air hose or gas line, would be better.

I'll call you Russ, does it come in 350' lengths. I use about 35' sections on xjetGood price
No, 300 is the largest roll available.
25', $7.43...50', $13.88

Hey RussI wanted to say thanks again, for the help u gave me with my pump!!!
You're welcome...whatever came of it? Did you get it fixed?

Maricopa County, AZ........
I wonder if you have to wear pink underwear...that's where that hard-nosed sheriff is.

:D It's a Girl :DThanks again to everyone for the great advice. This past week has been an adventure for sure, but like I said before, we love every minute of it. She is just a precious as can be!
Congrats, Pop....hey, where's the pictures??? Take good care of her, Mike.

Your gauge is screwed. The machine has seen freezing temperatures or has had a massive pressure spike. That gauge won't return to zero.
general pump labeled as theirs (model 3000)which makes it really a 4.8 or 4.9 right?
Could be..or actual 5 gpm.
throttle settings for pressure and generator now..
To set generator speed correctly, you need a multi meter that reads cycles. Adjust rpm for 60 - 62 hz. Engine speed should be between 3,400 - 3,600 rpm. Most belt drive generators installed on skids are supposed to run at 3,600 rpm, usually the puleys are the same size.
That 2nd picture is a vacuum switch. If your unloader is bad and remains in partial bypass while you are spraying, pressure will be low and pump vacuum will be off due to the additional water being fed into the inlet. If youyr unloader has a flexible hose for bypass, start the machine (after you have set the speed correctly), squeeze the gun, and crimp the bypass hose with your hand or a pair of pliers. If the pressure increases the time you have it crimped, it's bypassing. Sometimes if it's bypassing hard enough the hose will blow or pop off the barb, so be ready to get wet.
The inlet plumbing is a mess. Which hose goes where? Try to take another pic, use your photo shop (if you've got one) and label the hoses. 3/4" hose shouldn't affect vacuum. Is the float tank above or below the pump? We can get this straightened out, may take a few posts.

the tip of my unloader?
That is the "piston" I was referring to, not a ceramic plunger. As far as I know, it's not part of the unloader at all. Where in the pump did you find it? Suction side or hi psi side? All strainers in place..suction and chem? It's puzzling the bejeebers out of me...thought I'd seen everything..
-
If vinegar is what will work, try to find some acetic acid at a chemical supply warehouse. I used to sell it to a customer for concrete removal from equipment until I got him better, safer stuff. When I'd mix it up for him, my shop would smell like pickles for a week.
-
That wouldn't have come off the end of the piston. I can't identify it. It's a ball with a dent in it? See if you can get a better pic.

Legacy...imported by Tuff Mfg. to replace the Admiral..gives them exclusivity (how's that for a 50 cent word) to sell parts. Tuff's out of business, but the parts are still available for both pumps.
-
Pumps aren't too hard to rebuild if you watch how you take it apart. Inspect plungers closely for cracks - sometimes difficult to see, especially on brown plungers. Coat everything with grease when you put it back together, and make sure you put everything in pointing the right way...I have seen people install packing backwards...don't work too good lol. Sometimes the hardest part is disassembly. The brass rings can get glued into the holes with water deposits, etc, and don't want to come out. I have had to use a slide hammer bearing puller to remove them. Give me the model of your pump and I'll see if I can find a breakdown for you.
-
On oil fired burners, just suspend a 12 -8 reducer over the stack 1 or 2 inches. A draft diverter would work the same way. Biggest difference on a diverter is, as the name implies, there's a plate of metal in the thing that "diverts" downdrafts, should they occur, to keep the fire stable.
Yeah, Ernie, gas water heaters have little bitty ones.
-
How bad is your pump? Did it blow a rod? If all the damage is in the front end, a rebuild would probably be cheaper.
-
An internal combustion engine creates pressure, much like an air compressor. It needs no help to vent. I can get a 10" from Hydro Tek for $100.00.
No, Ron, the diverter sits right on top of the coil chamber. Lousy artist...lol
-
This came out huge..but the gist is - as the hot combustion air heats the pipe, cooler air wants to rush in around the outside. As the cool air rushes past, it creates a venturi to draw air up past the gas burner ring, through the coil, and out through the stack. They usually stand 12" - 18" high, so space may be a problem for you. They are available in 8", 10", and 12" diameters.
-
I recommend Reelcraft for durability and ease of use. The spool rides on bronze, not nylon or plastic bushings..adjustable drag brake to prevent "overspool", durable powder coat. The model CA33112L, rated at 1,000 psi should hold plenty of supply hose for you.

You can also buy a swivel mount for it. 600801-12

I'm just about done with my dream rig and I have pipes bending also. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. My Burners are going to run on Propane which is much cleaner then diesel so I'm hoping I don't get this problem. I'll post pictures when I get a chance down the road.You REALLY ought to start your stack with a draft diverter on the machine to draw air up and out of the combustion chamber for a clean burn and to evacuate exhaust. A gas burner will soot up without the right fuel / air ratio. Gas burners have no fan at all, so even the air flow that an oil burner has isn't there. Also, John, remember this - LP gas is heavier than air...if the burner doen't light properly, you could be standing in a fire ball.
-
The reason that happens is because the fan in the burner is there to mix enough air with the fuel for a clean burn. It is not designed to push a column of air up a pipe. I like one of those reducers, say from 12" to 10" or even 8", sitting just an inch or two over the stack. As the pipe warms, it will draw air up inside by itself.
Is the smoke flowing out the stack well, or does it kind of roll over the edge. If it's only rolling out, you may need to pull the burner head and manually wash the coil. The soot may be so built up that the burner just plain can't breathe.

Yeah...$300.00 POS. Need large money to get big boy toys, huh Michael?

Need lots more info to troubleshoot something like that.
12 volt or 120
burner runs but no fire or doesn't run at all
brand and model of machine
quit in the middle of a job or never did fire
