Ken. Lot's of things have taken place since the First post. No price was given in the second. The Original price was $220 for just a wash, not restoration. Only a newb to washing, not to business.. I'm gonna try Jake's technique on a friends cedar fence BEFORE I try it on any customer!

I also must have a spelling problem.. Just read the title and I'm a retard, also I dont weld on whitwater frames.. Just WhiteWater ones. Josh

Just finished my job today and had a chance to look at the solenoid and how it mounts. Your correct sir, it has that banjo fitting block. Just havent had time to mess with it yet. I'll be giving you a call for sure, but may not be today. I've still got several hours of welding a stupid whitwater...

Solenoid and burner. I didnt see a place to check between pump and solenoid, where would I look? The solenoid is mounted on top of the pump. Maybe I overlooked it. I'm getting ready to head out, so I'll check before I get on site. Thanks, Josh

Yep, fan is turning. Could it be thermostat, pressure switch, or that stupid little solenoid on the fuel pump? How do I eliminate each issue before finding the problem? Found a new fuel pump in Denver for $100, but they are closed tomorrow. Just changed the fuel filter as well and still the same...

I know nothing about the business, but I'm using a 16" trailer with my Alkota up front and a 600 gallon tank over the axles. She's a little tongue heavy without a load of water, but with half a load it pulls great. If your not hauling water, I'd put the machine over the axle's. What kinda...

No fuel.. Sorry I was out buying de-greaser since I got no heat for tomorrow.

Hey guys, hoping for some quick help here. I've got 8 pieces of heavy equipment to wash tomorrw early a.m. and my burner is not coming on. I'm a mechanic and have no problem fixing it, but need help diagnosing the problem. I've got NO fuel when I hit the trigger. Any thoughts? Josh

Thanks for the info Jake. I'm a hour or so behind you here, So I'll give you a call in a few. Thanks again guys. And yes, you are correct. All of the cedar up here is semi-transparent sealed for some reason. Josh

Holy crap. Now I see why people dont like home owners. The whole front side of the house is BLACK. Not sure what it was stained with before, but they've let it go WAY to long. HO went from wanting just a wash, to making all the cedar on the house the same color. Any suggestions on a chemical to...

Hey guys, I'm crossing into some residential work and need help with a bid tomorrow. I'm looking at just a basic wash on some tongue and groove cedar siding up here in the mountains. The home owner just wants a wash so they can re-stain their house. It's a raised ranch so only 1.5 sories in the...

Well, just finished my first two houses this morning. Aluminum siding washes great! Peeled the old flaking paint right out of the eve's with no problem on the older home. Home owners are stoked with the results, and easiest $400 I've ever made. I used Simple Green on the siding/gutters and it...

I'd like to get into cleaning more than just mining equipment. I'm doing house siding on Saturday, and need to strip some lose paint in the eve's. Any suggestions on tips or heat for the paint removal? As I stated, lot's of the paint is already peeling. I'm a total newb to washing, so all info...
