I know...it doesn't start with U and end with DOR, huh?

Could anyone tell me a reasonable price tp pay to have a cat pump (4.6 Gpm) rebuilt? the casing and all seem to be in good shape,also could the unloader valve cause pump to go bad. I only have 800 or so hours on machine and I thought Cat was the best. Ive never had a problem with cavitation,and take care of servicing it just like its my living,,cause it is. Thanks in advance for your time and advise!!What leads you to believe the pump needs rebuilding? And what model Cat is it?

When was the last tune up?
-
Oh yeah, they wear out like spark plugs.
-
Those need to be replaced. A nice sharp point on the end concentrates and directs the spark. The gap needs to be closer, too.

if the battery is going dead, it's burning up the ignitor. When the ignitor burns up, fuel sprays into the chamber and saturates it, so you get diesel running out.
-
Are you having a problem with the charging system on the engine? Low voltage will cook ignitors.

Oxalic acid...how much do you want?

Yes, it'll work fine. Make sure that each machine has its own separate suction port in the tank. If you "Y" off to two machines, and one breaks, the other probably won't work either. I have seen instances where a pump ends up with bad inlet seals, allowing the pump to suck air. Shut that one off, and the other pump would rather pull air through the bad pump than water from the tank.
If you want to get off with a lesser expense AR makes some nice direct drive 5 and 5.5 gpm pumps. Call me and we can talk costs.

Stop by and take a look.

Where's the 35+ years choice? LMAO!

Is it shutting off or does it just stop firing. If you've got an oil / water separator filter, that's the first place I'd look. They're a great filter, but when they clog up, they clog up tight.

You drive the crank out from the end opposite the drive, while rotating the assembly so the connecting rods line up with the journals so they slide through.
And, yes, the bronze and aluminum rods are interchangeable.

That ought to do fine.

No, Fred, the 0 tip won't draw soap. You have to have a large orifice to drop the pressure and draw soap. If you want a budget "shooter" tip, get a 1/4" coupler plug and a 1/4" hose barb. That'll throw the soap up high.

Just to get everyone on track here...the Craftsman machine has a downstreamer on it, not upstream.

Thanks, Kevin, I'll give it a try.
