I phoned a friend today, asking him technical questions, and all he kept saying was " Vienna Sausages, Vienna Sausages ". No help at all!

Glad we could help! Great video as always Joe!

Deeply appreciated

Sending Positive vibes your way Joe!

Another fix I've found over the years...even with no pressure at all..is remove the caps and the plungers and turn the water on and flush the cylinders out sometimes debris gets inside...in this case was an obvious broken plunger but may help others ...also when I winterize my pumps I take the plungers out of each pump .....and blow air thru the line for long term winterization......ALSO you can take a two 5 gal buckets and draw from and cycle thru the gun back to the bucket with the winter rated windshield washer fluid NOT antifreeze as gums up sometimes... Hope this helps someone. Love the channel GLC Enterprises Northern Va

I would definitely suggest changing all the springs out to the new ones and keep the old ones just as a back up just in case

I think I really needed this video. Yesterday and today I’m washing with the hose in one hand and I feel slight pulses in the hose. As if there’s low water, but that’s not the case. But I don’t notice anything with the water flow out the gun… Same PW you have. I’ll need to buy those springs tomorrow for backup. I always learn something from you

I have had this same issue this year on my 5.5 Glad mike helped you get it figured out!!

Hey Joe had simmilar issues when the pump was running too hot, not bypassing properly. Wrecked valves and seals running hot. Check that before replacing fresh parts. The best thing I've done this season was all my unloaders are all quick connect to change them out quickly to test them too ect. Take care man!

Outstanding video, Joe! Hate to see things go down on the job, but i learned a few things from your video. Much appreciated...and the ending is brilliant...ill be sure to tune in on the next video to see what happens. Also, im picking up more business on the midcoast; been in and around Damariscotta village quite a bit this spring. Well done! 😎💪

Outstanding work. Enjoyed. Harbor Freight breaker bar comes in handy for me.

Sucks the valve went bad on you. Luckily you have the backup machine. I had to replace check valves in my old pump last year. One thing I’d recommend is a little blue loctite. My Bolts kept backing out until I used some blue and let it setup over night.

Buy 2 sets of check valves and a reseal kit so you have it on the truck when you need them.👍

Joe do you think running 1.8 injector may have played a part? (More back pressure)? I’m only asking because I have the same pump and I too run the 1.8 when I come across especially dirty surfaces.

Did you check the filter before the 8GPM? If its too clogged it will also start to act starved for water.

Might be a stupid question, but in a circumstance like this with the roof, do you have the customer sign something stating their wishes and they accept all responsibility and no liability will be held against you for being more aggressive ?

5.5 works just fine gets the job done.
