Hi thanks for all the replies. He had his for ever HVAC company come out to check it out. They installed the entire AC and furnace system in 2004. AC unit is a Lennox HC-29 unit. Been serviced every year since. Had motor capacitors changed in the past. Service tech took a photo of his gauges he...

Hi got a call from a family member that their whole house air conditioning unit lost it's charge and they called their HVAC company they have used for years to look it over. The system has almost all the charge of R22 gone. They said R22 is no longer used as it has been banned as he was told. So...

Hi, got a chance to hook up the new Blast-it-All sandblaster gun. Checked the vacuum reading that pulls to **** up the media. 15 inches of steady vacuum. When I purchased the new gun the rep. John said each unit is adjusted for max vacuum. The old unit I got from Tacoma about 4 years ago would...

Called Blast-it-All today and spoke with their tech. dept. Spoke with John there. We went over the cabinet I have, all the checks I made and compressor data and media I am using. He thought 10 inches of vacuum on the gun should pull the media up but thinks internal parts are worn. Explained my...

If you go to Blast it All, they do a video on tuning the gun for optimal efficiency. Also found another site where they try different nozzle combinations to optimize also. I will try to post a link to them. This is not my forte but will try. Thanks.

Hi, Just looked up Tacoma company in Idaho. This is where I purchased my gun from. Their web site shows the ceramic nozzle I have on line shown as spare ceramic nozzle but their guns do not look the same ? If I remember they set me up with a gun for upgrading Harbor freight sand blast cabinets...

Hi, yes my gun looks like the IDS company pirate gun 1667-830 3/16 air nozzle #7 branded on it but I have the long ceramic nozzle extending out from the gun. Has this type of nozzle been discontinued? Cannot find it anywhere. if memory serves me correct I bought this from Tacoma in Idaho. Their...

Hi, yes foot valve works as designed feeding air pressure. Will verify it tomorrow to be sure it is working properly. Have a gauge on the inlet side of cabinet and it stays quite steady when pedal is pushed. Dips a bit but shows steady flow. And will check out the snap on gun. thanks for your input.

Hi, All the above has been done .No clogs. Number on Air nozzle is #7. Nozzle inside diameter is 3/16 inch. I measured the vacuum on the gun at 80 PSI. As follows 1, Air nozzle all the way in with lock nut in place 10 inches of vacuum. 2, Air nozzle out 1 turn with lock nut in place 6 inches...

Hi, I made a straight metal iron pipe tube pick up and welded another tube staggered for air next to it. Found this on line. Worked great. It originally had a vee type conduit pipe with a hole in the bottom of the tee. Blaster did not work well. I bought media from an on line source. Will get...

Yes Already did that. Pulled everything apart to check for clogs or leaks. Media nice and dry. Used the blaster a week ago and worked O.K. Just surprised me today that it just stopped sucking up the media. I see all the guns now do not have the ceramic nozzles sticking out of the guns but stop...

Hi, My generic Sandblast gun must have worn out as It stopped working. See lots of them under different brands. Any better brands I should look for in replacement. I have an Econo blast cabinet. Outfitted with new lights inside and was working well. Here is what I have now.

Hi I took the factory numbers off the carb. Nothing showed up on line. So bought the knock off Chinese carb. Runs great but would have preferred the factory one. Customer happy ! An Airens snow blower came in with a shot starter motor. Guy laid on the start button and melted the armature...

Great Thank you. Yes factory carbs are hard and expensive to find these days. I needed a good alternate number to use to get a knock off and you folks provided that. I had one of these knockoffs float leak too. It damn near burned down a garden where it was in a storage shed for a church I...

Hi, on to another project for a friend. He brought me the carb off an Ariens model 8526 Snowblower. The float has gas inside it. And the high speed jet that is a brass nut assembly that holds the fuel bowl on is broken off. The carb numbers on the flange of the carb is 5313 K40. It has a...
