The serial number is the date code when the Cat pumps are built. I'll see if I can find the pump I have that is a 31DS. The pumps at my car wash have a chrome head, they were made in 1982. So the 31DS with a brass head had to have been made before that.

Try this, disconnect the soap and wax lines from the pump and plug the ports and then run the pump, if the pulsating go away then you know the problem is in the soap and wax delivery side. Another thing you can try is to connect a city water hose to the pump water inlet and see if the pulsating...

I hate to see this, It looks like you might end up working for the landlord for free. That's thee problem with leases, your at the mercy of someone else. I have a friend in California that had that problem the landlords thought that they were going to get a car wash for by raising the lease to...

I live 150 miles from the Canadian border so we see a few Canadian coins every now and then. None of our Slugbuster II coin acceptors will accept them, they are rejected. What kind of coin acceptors is your guy using?

Over the years I’ve tried just about every vac nozzle there is. They either stole them, took them off, we tried riveting them on the hose and they cut the hose just above the vac cuff. Now we use a VAA-20 vac cuff and I can’t remember when I last lost one...

The STA is no longer supported by Hamilton, I believe it was around 2012 they stopped building the STA validators. The problem now is there are no parts available for the STA. For a $100 you probably got belts installed. The Mei/Cpi kit is a no brainier to install, I've sold a lot of them over...

If you use a 1505 or 1504 nozzle it'll give your customers the impression that they are getting a lot more pressure because of the narrower spray pattern.

1500 psi with a 1505 nozzle tip. I use a tennis ball to keep the gun handle open.

That’s not a Cat 310 pump it looks like a 5CP2120 pump. The procedure for adjusting the pressure is the same, to increase the pressure turn the brass nut clockwise and to lower the pressure turn the nut counter clockwise. When I adjust the pressure, I have my helper hold the handle on the gun...

I've repaired a lot of AE2612 validators. I just repaired 6 for one our Forum friends and they work perfect. Which Model Talos are you using? You should be using a T612-U3 model. They should work if your programing them correctly.

I got text yesterday morning from Pat Hall’s wife that was not good news. Pat Hall AKA I.B. Washincars had a severe stroke early yesterday morning and is currently in the hospital. Everyone please keep the Hall family in your thoughts and prayers. I’ll post more when I find out more information.

I saw your post over on Facebook and you've got bigger problems than what your describing here.

After a Mei/Mars validator has been in service for a number of years the capacitors on the main board become weak and this causes the validator to have acceptance issues or not accept at all. You never know when they are going to fail It might be 2 year or 5 years. The same thing with LED TV's...

On the motor there is a key way and on the pulley there is a key way. Once you install the pulley on the motor shaft you insert a square key into the key way to keep the pulley from turning on the motor shaft, to lock everything together you have a set screw in the motor pulley that you tighten...

It looks like it's 3/8", I think I'd just use a 3/8" brass Tee.

The AE2000 validator bill boxes have to be on the validator for the validator to work. The box has a clear prism at the front bottom of the bill box, this prism has to be intact for the validator to work. By telling me that the validator will accept money but not pay out is telling me that...

That's what I do Greg. When a pump crankcase goes bad I don't bother with changing the bearings or the rods I swap out the crankcase. I've got one now that's over 40 years and it's got a rod knocking.

You know you can send your LED-7 v7.30 Timers into Dixmor and have them upgraded to a v7.36. There is a $30 fee for this timer version upgrade.

Flo Jet G57 pumps are a good pump for foam brush. For Presoak and Tire cleaner I'd go with a Procon pump controlled with by MX-8 multiplexer. They'll last a longer than a Flo Jet pump when using high PH chemicals if they are installed correctly.

It takes me about 2 minutes to change a Flo Jet pump. I have a ball valve on my chemical tank that I close and a ball valve on my air supply to the pump that I close and the Flo Jet pump is mounted on a quick change bracket...
