Thanks Larry.

Runnin' a Vanguard 16hp vtwin, and doing maintenance. Can anyone please explain to me how to clean the cooler/cooling fins? Thanks!

Thanks guys! That's exactly what I've been doin'-minus the acid. They're just going to have the cement chipped off. Your time is appreciated!

Anyone with experience washing pump trucks? Have an account with a vital inspection on Fri., and of course the booms haven't been properly cleaned for probably 3years. Other than heavy degreaser and hot water, and probably about 12 hours - any suggestions to get it done right the first...

JustMe - A copy of said document would be a welcome addition. Will you forward us one? AeroWash@att.net. In fact, if you need any examples/anecdotes of "learning the hard way", I've got many - mostly 1st hand, and some good stories from old-timers in the area. We...

5 GPM 3500 psi Don't know about charging system Yes, 5,000watt generator I've budgeted $1500 Equipment is mobile, %90 of my market is fleet, branching out this summer.

I have a B&S 16hp that I would like to add a hot box to, but need some guidance. If I had $3000 to buy a hot water unit I would, but for now... Thanks!

Recently bought a water broom for smaller projects, but it causes the pump to surge. It's only rated to about 3.5 gpm. Could pushing too much water volume cause this surge? I'm running a B&S 16hp w/General ts2021 5 gpm - cold water.

Lemme' know if you're still tryin' to unload your truck! aerowash@att.net sunny

What can they do in 2,3,4 years down the line?

Mark - Thanks for the help! I tried one of my other guns, and it worked great. After taking the old gun apart, I see why/how it's often easier to simply buy a new one ... since a repair kit is about %75 of the cost of a new one, and you still don't know how long it will last. It's amazing...

Vanguard 16 horse twin (briggs&stratton). Pretty basic - source hose from H2O tank, pressure hose w/2 step lines. Actually, the unloader cycles always ... low pressure or high. Tonight I noticed some older splices in the pressure hose that are suspect. I'm sure the gun is my problem though...

Yet ANOTHER aspect - the trigger has been sticking as well, to the point of being able to work for 5-10 min. or so w/out applying any pressure at all on the trigger. Thanks! Sunny

Mark - Yes, that is correct.

Now that I think about it, only @ higher pressure does it surge, and yes, I do use a quick-coupler. I figure that a leak of some sort, somewhere, is the culprit - and from the leaking, the gun is my prime suspect? I've got more guns, but hate to toss anything fixable or salvagable for...
