I did not repair the 3/4 inch tubing from the tank to the chemical. The tubing hardened up and when the chemical got low it could not reach in the chemical any more. The problem is it looked like it was okay. Now I know to replace when it gets to that state.
Today I had a great surprise. See picture. I will try tomorrow to look at the video tape and post a picture of the culprit.
Today both of my changers were out again. This time one had a penny in it. Then the other had the same problem as yesterday. "CK L COIN DETCTR" But William fixed it today. He said it was the light that counts the quarters. I hope he is right.
One of Wylam's MH wall pack blew out last night. I will have to replace with a 175 watt metal halide bulb.
The last problem I had today was my coin acceptor being jammed. This is an easy fix with a screw driver.
Today, I saw this awful site from my Rowe changers (BC-200) both did not work. One had this error "CH L COIN DETCTR" which I did not have time to research. Then the other had this message "CK TRANSPORT VF" which was alot easier because of this.
I liked this sticker "Nowhere but Wylam". Alot of things that happen I say the same thing. Like when a lady in a new grey Honda Pilot hit the stop sign with a cop in my wash.
Today, I also had problems with my Hamilton changer. My hopper was jammed. I had to dump the coins and then put them all back in. Then everything worked again.
I learned something about my Jim Coleman Company vacuums today. Greg was fixing everything that was broken at my wash when we discussed the timer differences that I had.
Apparently if the timer (1034r timer sn-052200-88) has the new firmware it says "SELECT" and if the firmware is old it says "ADD". Also, you could test by pressing the buttons. If the buttons sound when pressed it is the new firmware. If there is no sound then it is the old firmware. This is important because the old firmware allows fragrance or vacuum and with the new firmware you can switch between the two.
Greg fixed my General Pump problem!
Apparently this o-ring was damaged when I crammed the packing into the head of the pump. Now I get 1100 psi. I learned a good lesson today use lots of silicon. Thanks again Greg.
