    laser 4000 running slow in cold

    I know it has been a while since I addressed this issue, but it began to get worse even with the heater, so I couldn't ignore it anymore. After eliminating any failure in the CPU, we determined it was the Eaton. I gambled and found one at the E-place for $250 and installed it today. Some...

    vac indicator lamps

    How do I know what size? Or does size matter? (I couldn't resist)

    vac indicator lamps

    Thanks, I bought 2 12v at Radio Shack. They work, but don't know for how long. They were two for $2.49. I hope they last. David

    New Wash

    Lots of good comments from some seasoned veterans. Again as was posted earlier I assume you are in the E. Texas, Louisiana area. I'm in south Texas and we are in all out price wars with 25c start times and 25c for 60 seconds. No one has gone out of business, but no one is supporting the whole...

    vac indicator lamps

    Is there a source for the 14v indicator lamps for Fragramatics SAV model vacuums. They want $8 plus shipping for those rascals. I put in a 24v bulb, but it's too dim to see. Would a 12v dc bulb work? I can get those at Radio Shack for $1.69ea. I need about 6 bulbs. It sure would be nice if...

    Is $3 for 4 minutes reasonable with a $2 startup?

    Wow, we can only dream of that kind of money in south Texas. 25 cents per minute with many at 25 cent start times. I'm at .75cent start time and people complain I'm too high. Sheesh. We've got 19 bays for 8500 people in our community, so the pie crumbs are few. David

    HP pump pressure is low

    Sorry I haven't posted back. I've been on vacation for 5 weeks. We checked every conceivable leak location and never could get the pressure up. At my distributor's recommendation we changed the nozzles to 1503.5 and that did the trick. I had to adjust the the regulator down a bit to avoid a...

    HP pump pressure is low

    I have a puzzling problem on my L4000. My General 1541 pump was very old and I had rebuilt the heads several times to bring the pressure back to 1050psi. The last time I rebuilt it didn't improve any. I did this after replacing the nozzles on the arch and the regulator valve on the pump...
