So after a week or so of following the water abd tripple checking, the problem is 100% a clog is in the coil...if I bypass the coil (hot Box) run...the machine is flawless. I have tried to flush with it with water and air but have had no luck. I have not turned on the burner and do not plan to unless directed to. is there a diagram or pdf of how to take the hot box apart or get to the coil? Mine is bolted down to the skid frame on either side and attached to the burner and I am not sure if that should be the next step.

So the weather is getting back to normal in North Texas and I pulled the rig out of its inside storage location for the last 3 months to get back in the game. I had emptied everything prior to storage...blew out all the hoses and lines with air ect. I did not put Anti Freeze in as it was indoors, it does get cold in the storage but not that cold. Hooked up a new battery today and it cranked right up, turned the lever to engage the water from the float tank and pulled the trigger and got no response. Shut it down, checked the screen inside the tank and it was clean. Relocated the water source to the pump and started up again, same result. It was not giving that water engaged sound when i fliped the valve open it normaley does as the system engages. I Shut it down, checked all the lines for blocks and looked at the unloader and everything looks clean, water flows....but does not flush all the way through with the motor on or off. With the motor off I engaged the water and took off all the lines one at a time and they seem to run clean. I did not get into the hot box to check the coil yet... Before I start to dismantle aI thought I should ask first. As a reminder it is a 2005 Alkota 5305 hot/cold skid with an AR belt drive pump. It ran great before storage. I thank you in advance for your time. Any help or direction would be great. Dan

Thank you in advance ...service@outdoorrenewandrestore.com

Do they still make Fax machines? If so I might need to spend the $$ to win the $$

I did a job for a Realtor friend of my wife’s yesterday. Basic driveway, Sidewalk, Flagstone Entry way and retaining wall that have sat under a Live Oak Tree for the better part of 8 years. As seen in the enclosed picks they have been driving over and stepping on the little nuts that drop from the tree each year and it looks like someone let 1000 Hershey kisses melt all over the place. Needless to say, I washed it, and they did not budge. I DS a little bleach after and let it sit and I am happy with the result. Thanks to Bobby at Costal and everyone else for the practical info available on this site. Have a great weekend Dan

happy to do any of the above... Let me know Dan

Rig fixed...ready for this...I did not have the SPARK PLUG wire on all the way....Chalk one up for my Darwin nomination I posted some pick to share of the two houses I did this week. Both came out very well I think...There are before and after picks, but for some reason they will not line up in the upload..so I will put them on the website later in that format.. So 1st week, no broken bones, no insurance claims, happy customers and a few hand fulls of Motrin and I am alive..work done...house wash, driveway,sidewalk,deck,pool, patio, entry way, gutters.. Investment for the week...some time, some bleach, some dawn liquid dish soap, some other chems and some gas... take a look.....

Not sure what I can do, but would be happy to help in any way I can. As a owner of a new company I may be qualified to pick up food or hand out name tags...but will do anything with a smile if needed. Dan

Thanks again for the support BOBBY and everyone else who has taken the time to help, Rand156 sounds good, the one thing McKinney is not short on is Schools and Fire Houses.When we moved here in 1998 the population may have been 40,000.00 now we are around 121,000 and on our 7th fire house if I remember right.Great place to live and work for your Nephew. And out of those 121,000 homes I will find a few dirty ones and leave them with a smile..at least that is the game plan. For example the new HS they built is 510,000 SqFT Real Estate & Homes for Sale - Zillow it opened two years ago and they have had tow major additions added so who knows how big it is now...and this is 3rd HS in town Dan

It always happens in every other aspect of my life, why not in this new venture. "Come What May" I am buckled in and ready for the ride.

Bobby thanks for the call..Sam and Russ thank you. The Bears are on a bye tomorrow so I have 24 usable hours to tinker with it. I adjusted the unloader to the right and it made the motor die when I pulled the trigger, I twisted to the left and it brought down my PSI but the engine did not stress...I will take it to Delco ASAP and have them look at it. Dan

In the process of preparing for my job and was going over the trailer to make sure all was in order. Took the machine over to Delco a few days ago to have the Wayne Burner fixed. After loading everything up with care, nothing banged the machine..I started it to see if the excess smoke was still present that needed to burn off as a by product of the needed repair last week. Burner runs fine, smoke is almost gone. HOWEVER...now every time I pull the trigger on the wand...with or without heat the engine (Vanguard 16HP) the motor bogs I loose almost all pressure and it sounds like it is going to die. I release the trigger and it spins back up and sounds great..Pull the trigger and the process repeats..Hold the trigger and it remains the same... New plugs,filters in the last month on the Motor.. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance for your time Dan

Bobby, We talked about them, General seems to be the best bang for the buck when it comes to performance,repair cost and availability. So when I get the extra $$$ to upgrade I will make the call. Dan

Just to follow up, I brought my machine over to Delco/RAHSCO in Ft Worth and let Mark Play with it. He was great, found that the solenoid off the fuel pump was 220v not 120v. That explained why sometimes it worked and sometimes it did not. Changed out that and put in a new fuel Nozzle, bought a new Diesel Fuel Filter and some new Tips. MONEY well spent. Great SHOP, NICE People. I am Sure I will be back soon.
