I was initially thinking the blower motor was going out and caused the capacitor to fail? But it sounds and runs smooth

So the air conditioner was on and running but no air was coming out of the vents. Even with the fan on mode, no air blowing out. Furnace is around 20 years old. Upon closer inspection the furnace blower motor wasn't spinning. I could spin the blower motor by hand and it would keep going. But...

Definitely not overfilling it and not tipping it on its side Leaks gas, just enough to coat a small area, but shouldn't leak. The is coming out from the bottom of the gas cap area where it meets the metal tank

New cap installed...... .same issue

Thats a interesting float switch, I'm not sure there

AI search shows that Hydromatic pumps are made by Pentair I think Pentair is or was a popular pool equipment company

The Wayne 1/2 HP and the Ridgid 1/2 HP were identical, so Wayne probably made it and it was sold as a Ridgid pump Quick easy swap I submerged the old one in the laundry sink and it still shot out water pretty powerful I'll keep it for backup

Do you "need" a concrete slab or can you frame out a ground level base using ground contact pressure treated? Then top it off with PT plywood

The pumps basically all have standard size 1-1/2" threads Yes the 90' run is pitched downhill

I ended up going with: Wayne CDU800 1/2 HP Submersible Sump Pump I've always ran 1/2 HP pump but my piping runs probably 100 feet to the curb, so I'm thinking the ling run might be killing the smaller hp pumps? I think the higher hp pump also has a higher amp draw, so I didnt want to chance...

^^^^^^^ I'm cheap, was trying to save $10 I'll order a new cap

Does a leaky quarter turn gas cap mean I need a new one? Or is there a trick to having these seal better? The gas cap gasket appears to be fine I'm working on a 3.5HP Briggs edger While the engine is running, theres no leak. As soon as it gets shut off, gasoline leaks out of the mounting...

I went with a 320ccc AGM lawn and garden battery, with the U1R flag posts (nut and bolt). This way, when sitting in the tray the POS terminal will be on the upper left side and closer to the short POS battery cable $65 shipped
