IC, bigger tips it is
Thanks for all the help guys... I think i've finally figured out my problem.... coles notes..... the soap tip I had was marginally too small, maybe a "defective" tip.
I replaced it with another #40 soap tip and it works fine with 100ft of hose.... drilled out the old tip and it also works. As for the telescopic pole, i'm going to call that a hopeless cause (since it won't even pull soap with no tip in it).... 1/4 hose. The gun I was using may also be partially to blame since switching to a second gun (same make and model) did allow it to flow more soap.. ie.. restrictive gun.
BTW.. Mark, did you get my e-mail? for some reason I can't pm anybody on this forum
