I apologize John T. I was not reffering to you, but John from Envirspec.

Since no one has asked yet, 1. Who worked yesterday? I did, worked on a fire system install yesterday. Put in about 7 hours, then went to the shop and terminated a guy. Unlike most terminations, this guy really tried, was a hard worker, but he did not pay attention to what he was doing. His ex-wife is a real *****, they have to small boys and he his the sole support of her and the boys. But, he just could not do the work, and made the same mistakes over and over. 2. Who is working today? I am doing some billing until Dee gets up and then we drive 100 miles to see the daughter and the 2 kids. Then another 100 miles home so I can get ready for 10mmorrows sprinkler repair.

Here is where the 3 legged dog guy calls me a liar. I bought some chinaman chemcal from them. I was less than crap, totally worthless. They told me I was doing something wrong as no one else had problems with the chem. The claims they made when I bought the stuff was of nor more value than the chem. They said they would take the chem back if I did not like was not true. I also bought a plastic wand to apply hood cleaning chemical. At that time I was using Bonzai. Not bad, but the best available at the time. The chem would eat the o'rings and the plastic wand. But, I just kept extras of each. The last wand I bought leaked immediatly. The o'rings were missing. I contacted Envirospec and was told to contact the manufacturer of the wand. Since then, I have never bought from EnviroSpec. In a few days John will post here and call me a liar, saying I have never bought anything from them. It has been at least 12 years, but I do remember getting extremly poor service from them.

This sounds like a troll to me. Can't afford a real pw, help me, whine and whimper. This guy is not a real pressure washer, he is not listening to any suggestions. He works for beer money. new guy, do you have insurance, business cards, a business account at the bank, a E.I.N? Working out of car? Get real.

Any have a wiring diagram for a Beckett G-04-1001-6 burner. I need the wiring inside the burner.

I saved the copy that Larry Hinderliter sent me. My e-mail program did not save your address. E-mail me and I will send the wiring copy.

Ted Nugent: Gun Expert Lott: Let Teachers Carry Arms, Ban Gun-Free Zones to Halt Mass Shootings [TABLE=class: gd_tbl_wrap, align: center] [TR] [TD=bgcolor: #EEEEEE, align: center][TABLE=width: 600, align: center] [TR] [TD=bgcolor: #FFFFFF][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=bgcolor: #FFFFFF][h=1]Rep. Richardson's Newsletter[/h][h=1]School Safety & Campus Responders[/h][h=3]December 17, 2012[/h]We continue to mourn with the families of 20 children and 6 adults killed last week in Sandy Hook Elementary School. I am frustrated over our failure in America to protect our school children and teachers from future attacks. President Obama rightfully told the grieving families in Connecticut “Surely we can do better….” and “We are not doing enough and we will have to change.” The question is what kind of change will make our K-12 schools safer for our children and educators when the next mass murderer forces his way into another of our schools. This is a serious issue and I am looking for realistic alternatives for our school district administrators to consider before a copy-cat massacre occurs here in Oregon. Please do not think me insensitive to the grief being felt in Newtown, Connecticut and around America. This discussion results from last Friday’s tragedy and if a change in school policy results that saves even one life during the next inevitable school-killing rampage, then the lives lost in Newtown will not have been lost in vain. To focus our consideration on school safety, the debate over banning weapons will be addressed another day. There are already 250 million firearms in circulation in the USA and assault weapons were already banned in Connecticut before last Friday’s tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary. By sad coincidence a mad-man in China also entered an elementary school last Friday and used a knife to stab 22 children. In other words, instead of responding to the latest mass murder with calls for more gun-control, the real issue should be ensuring the protection of our children and educators from armed psychopaths. Currently, when a killer begins his rampage the only armed person in the school for at least five minutes after the sound of the first gunshot is the mass murderer. Training in classroom lock-down techniques is valuable, but passive. Classroom lock-down procedures alone fail to protect the children and adults who continue to be murdered before the police arrive. A police officer in every school is not the answer; a police officer would be the first target of a shooter and the cost would be prohibitive for most school districts. Lives would be saved by stopping the shooter. Seconds count when the police are five minutes away. To start the discussion, here is a simple, inexpensive way to enable immediate response after the first gunshot in a school is fired. Establish a program of Campus Responders. Campus Responders could be two or three responsible adult volunteers in every school (administrators, staff members, teachers or members of the community such as retired law enforcement or military personnel), who are enlisted and encouraged to obtain additional training and regular practice in the use of firearms. Each Campus Responder would have a firearm concealed on their person or locked and concealed in a secure metal gun box bolted in their desks. School district employees with prior military or law enforcement experience would be the initial candidates for this voluntary assignment. No one outside of school and district administration would know the identity of these volunteers. In short, having armed and trained personnel in every school would enable immediate response with lethal force if and when the lives of our children and teachers were endangered by a mass murderer. If this procedure had been implemented, the number of students and educators killed in every school massacre from Columbine to Virginia Tech to Sandy Hook might have been greatly reduced. (The same would be true if implemented by shop-keepers and mall personnel such as those in Clackamas) In Texas the Harrold School District’s “Guardian Plan” already has implemented such a policy. Under present Oregon Firearm Law, school districts already have the authority to do likewise. In Israel and Thailand armed school personnel save the lives of their children. In America the slaughter of our school children continues. To refocus this important debate let’s consider the following: (1.) Mass murderers may be armed with guns, knives, explosives, and, as we saw last year in China, even hammers. (2.) From the 1998 killings in Oregon’s own Thurston High School to last week’s massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary our students and educators have continued to be slaughtered in our public schools. (3.) There is less than a one in a million chance that a mass shooting will occur in a school on any given day. (4.) Police response times are at least five minutes; and, (5.) The costs are prohibitive and counter-productive to a quality education to turn our schools into educational prisons, with high fences, bullet proof doors and continual police patrols. Nevertheless, as last Friday’s tragedy reminds us all, school campus massacres continue to occur and our passive policies have failed to adequately limit the number of innocent victims once the rampage begins. What do you think of the idea of having 2 or 3 experienced and trained volunteers serve as armed Campus Responders? Do you have a better idea?

Thank you in advance for helping me (and through your comments, school district administrators), evaluate appropriate policy changes in preparation for the next mass murders on a school campus.

Yes, I called Larry at Delco, Rhasco, Powerwash 1.800.433.2113. I took the trailer to a local furnace shop. I specfically asked him to call me prior to working on it so I or my people could set up the pw. As we know, w/o water going through the pump, the burner is not supposed to fire. He ignored my input and wired the pw so all that was needed to make the burner fire was to turn on the switch. He got to do the job again. Then he called so we could connect the water, install the wand and explain how a hot water pressure washer worked. He listened this time. My guys checked the burner before taking the pw to the shop and then fired it up at the shop. Too bad it did not work on yesterdays jobs. So I went the the back-up equipment, foamer and a garden hose. Tooks lots of time, but both jobs are done.

Assuming you actually attended the certification class, stayed awake and did not leave early.

This will mean nothing to those of you who have been raised on what passes for music today. Dave Brubeck has died. Dave Brubeck: Beyond 'Take Five' : A Blog Supreme : NPR Scroll down to the music video and listen to "Take Five", note the sound of Paul Desmond on sax. Then scroll down to Satchmo on his trumpet and Ella Fitzgerald as she sings "Summertime" by Gershwin.

Likley, the work was done w/o permits and inspections.

We installed an auxillary battery in the trailer to power the interior lights. There is a 110V battery charger to keep the aux battery charged. The battery still dies after 1.5 to 2 hours. Can I run a couple of wires to the pw battery to keep the aux battery charged? The distance between the batteries will be about 20 feet. I figure on installing a battery isolator between the batteries. The engine is a v-twin Vanguard, putting out 20 amps.

Try galvanized fittings when you do the repair. They seem to hold up better. If you use unions, a bit of anti-seize on the faces helps when it is time to take the union apart.

1. Who's going to pay you? The property owner? The property owner's insuranse? The roll-over's insurance? 2. What are the expectations, how much oil can you remove?

I need to use the pos 1800 psi, 2.8 gpm 110V pw again. I cannot find the nozzles I should have for it. What nozzle size should I be using?

yes,456

I give you points for an attempt at humor, a poor attempt, but at least you tried. The fire business if rife with those who pull.

My Delco vertical burner won't fire. I have replaced the hi-limit switch and the pressure switch, both with new parts. But I still have no ignition. I did charge the battery. The fan motor does work. I need a wiring diagram, not wire colors. It seems every pressure swithc has different wire colors, I need the placement of the wires. The burner is a 12V Becket, I do not know the brand of fuel pumpt, but it is also 12V

The ignition problem is fixed, thanks to Russ. The transformer fixed that problem. Now, I am having a lot of smoke, dark smoke even with the burner off. I have not adjusted the air band, but will today. How often is the fuel nozzle to be changed? What nozzle size do I need?

Russ sent the right parts, problem fixed Thanks Russ

Good idea, but I tossed the old switch immediatly. But I did remember the service notes may be in the E250. I wll look after the demo derby tonight. I get free tickets because I supply the FX for the race

An easy way to determine the water flow is the bucket test. Take a 5 gallon bucket and put it under a hose bib, open the SPIGOT (not the spikket, spegot, or other mis-spellings) and note the time to fill the 5 gallon bucket. That will give you a rough estimate of the time to fill your water container. Then deduct the flow per minute your PW puts out. Instead of using several garden hose connections and float valves on your tank, why not make up a maniflold of 2" plastic pipe and hose connections to fill the water tank? What is the difference in flow between 5/8 and 1" hose?

The gallon buffer tank that came with my 3,000 psi 5 gpm just was not enough. I went with a 55 gallon barrell. I am now using a 25 gallon tank, works good for hoods.

I have a vertical burner Delco, 16 hp Vanguard, TS 2021 pump. My pw was running terrible today. It started by missing, but I had a job to do so I kept using it. The pressure kept changing, a problem I have not had previously. But, I had a job to get done so I could do my chinaman this evening. My smoke pipe kept smoking, even when the heater was not on. The engine kept getting worse, and I knew I could not do a chinaman with the low pressure the pump was putting out. I could not even get teh filters clean. I finished my job and replaced the pressure switch. I flipped the burner switch and the fan came on so I figured I could leave. I got home and the smoke pipe was still smoking. I opened the trailer and there was lots of smoke. I closed the trailer up and went to the garage and got a 10 # Halon and a ladder. I climbed on the roof and dumped the halon down the stack. I opened the side door of the trailer, gaackk! Halon smells horrible when it decomposes in a fire. Then I could see the glow through some old screw holes. I got another 10 # Halon. Then I removed the smoke stack and put more Halon on the coil. The coil was red hot and the insulaltion was glowing. I closed the trailer and waited a bit. The Halon cooled the coil. I think the insulation got oil soaked with dsl vapors. Driving down the hiway, air was drawn in the bottom of the coil and out the smoke pipe. The draft kept the fire going. Is the fuel pump leaking? It is about a year old. Do I need to replace the fuel pump? With the coil glowing red, I am afraid the temper is out of the steel. I do have a new coil and after after 13 years, it is time to replace it. My pw puts out 3,000 psi and am afraid of an explosion. I think the ceramic pistons are coming apart also. My tip kept plugging. Time to get a new TS 2021.

OK, changed the coil. Too bad it was not an exact replacement. I took the coil to a local welding shop, see it they could heat the inlet and straighten it. They did and the ends matched very well. Or at least nothing that could not be fixed with a step bit, and a Saw A All and some pipe fittings. There was some room for a small amount of insulation, on the pump and battery side. Then 2 trips to the sheet metal shop for new smoke pipe. It all fit and I started the PW. Lots of brown stuff came out the hose. I turned on the switch, no heat, just a rattling noise. The noise was traced to the fuel pump. Of course, it is a 12V pump, so no one around here has ever heard of a 12V pump for a pressure washer. I cancelled the next 3 jobs. Tommorow I will drag the trailer to my local repair guy so he can listen to it. I should have bought a new pw. Bovine by product happens
