Said coin jam again just reset and everything was okay.

I had an extra strainer so I did not have to order one which is good.  But it did not fix the problem.

I was trying to figure out where the problem was so I removed some hoses and the fitting on the left started to leak.  Then I broke the barb off in the picture on the right.  I did figure out that the solenoid was not activating.

So I figured it had to be the switch in the shampoo head.  The switch was broken so I just connected the two wires together so the shampoo would run constantly.  Of course when I took the brush off a hose fell out.  This is easier said then done attaching the hose back.  Before I gave up for the day I made sure it worked.  I attached the hose back to the broken barb and it worked.  Great, then the hose fell off the barb and shampoo squirted into my ear.  That is not cool, do not try this on your shampooer.

I was trying to figure out what the problem was with the spampooer.  No shampoo was coming out.  I decided to check the strainer.

Well I broke the strainer off.  Which is bad, but it looks like the strainer was the problem.  I guess I am done for today.  Until I find another strainer.

I went to Sears last night and picked up the new Craftsman 30mm socket 45926.  It looks so cool with that laser etched 30 large enough to see from far away.  The second picture is the wrench and socket taking a break.

The last pictures are with the o-ring on the check valve.

The o-rings seemed larger and looked like they were chewed up.  I replace all the rings but the rings on the top were worse.

I was getting water forced into the wax and high pressure chemical lines.  I got my socket set and figured out that I lost my 30mm socket.  Great but I had the tag for the old socket.  I needed to unbolt the six large nuts on the high pressure pump and replace the o-rings.
