Unloader was already disabled. Found it though! Did the soapy water trick. Man, there were quite a few locations. I wasn't using pipe sealant or anything since it was only in test mode. Biggest oof on my part were the valve bolt covers. 2 out of the 4 were leaking. 1 was max tight and I had...

UPDATE FINALLY got that last HP valve off. Actually took it to the local shop in hopes they could get it off w/o ruining it. They couldn't. Ended up only charging me for the valve itself which was nice. Put it back together this evening and not what I hoped. Took 5mins, 50 secs to fill to...

Ok, got the back two off and am in the process of cleaning up. Still lost on the front right. Going to try and do more research. I looked at the parts breakdown yesterday, but couldn't find that specific valve.

Ok, answered two of my own questions. Both cap nut set screws (located on the valves in the back) were able to be removed first.

No problem, Just thankful you're here to help. Referencing the picture again, the upper left with two nuts. You're saying I need to loosen the lower bigger nut first before I remove the upper smaller nut? A little backwards from what I expected. The upper right, this the same situation as...

Ok, i got one off. Found a lot of rust and a little confused how to proceed. Seems like a dead end. I assume I need to remove all four? 2 for HP and LP b/c of being 2 stage? In regards to the one w/ the hex bolt on it (Referencing the picture, behind the valve i took off), do i need to...

Ok, so all 4 of those should just remove with a standard open-ended wrench, counter clockwise? Just wanted to make sure before I started cranking down on it and possibly breaking something. C96 is very similar to the d96. Any other tips or advice you can give me. Particularly on valve...

Hey guys, I've made a couple posts about this lately as i move further along on the restoration stage. I'm currently trying to get the high pressure and low pressure valves off the pump for inspection and most likely rust cleaning (hasn't been ran much in years other than recently). I'm a...

Perfect, that makes sense, thanks. I'm sloping upwards away from the tank for the first few feet. Afterwards, I'll follow the natural bending principle, should make things a lot easier. Thanks again.

Yea, I know, it's been beaten to death quite a bit already. I'm following the pdf diagram from TPTools (https://www.tptools.com/tech-metal-piping.dlp) as well as what I've found from searching. I really just have one question. I'm going with black iron piping and a lot of folks recommend...

Saw one on ebay (size 0) that both the aux contact and even the aux buttons that mount on top of the starter (also broken on mine, that's why i have the external buttons), but he was asking a little much. I ended up ordering a lot of 3 new aux switches (same model number) for $20 shipped...

Bargh!. I understand. When the magnetic start activates and pushes in, it also pushes the button on the contact as well. This wasn't mounted originally b/c it's mounting points are broken. This falls back to what I said in the first post about having some broken pieces and adding too many...

Sorry, shouldn't have used the term relay. Re-wired it w/ colors. I'm using romex b/c I didnt want to run conduit for this run. it's the same way I had it wired earlier today. Same results that I originally posted. I BELIEVE I'm wiring up as instructed here and to match the diagram in both...

Ok, from what I'm reading there, that's what I did in the pictures above originally. Is it possible the NC relay is faulty?

I'll get the wiring cleaned up so it's more clear. Are you saying it's possible that there's simply something broken? If so, what would be likely? Might be the reason it ended up on ebay.
