Have a bay at my wash that has not been operational for several years, and the place is around 15 years old. So I removed the motor and pump, rebuilt both and cleaned up the stand. Put it all back together and manually pushed in the starter. No pressure showing on the gauge, and this is the best part, no water coming out in the bay. So what's going on? Since there was no pressure showing on the gauge, I thought it was bad, so put a new one on. Same thing. Pulled the discharge hose from the pump and got a nice stream coming out. Well the old hose and steel fittings must have corroded closed. But it that is so, there should be pressure showing on the gauge. The fun just never stops. And to make things easy, the bay is the farthest one away and you have to crouch down and walk on the roof trusses. And did I mention it's 90 degrees out?
Where is the freaking water going?

air bound?. start at the pump and remove the output hose. water there? keep going like that...
Have done that. Water comes out of pump under pressure. Pulled pressure gauge off and water comes out there also. Finally got water to come out boom in the bay but not a good flow. Now have bad bypass hose on pump and bad check valves above the boom. The whole bay system was bad. Every part. Just have never seen one bay so bad. And it’s a pain to just climb up there. Also need all low pressure hoses.
