Coleman Fragrance Vacuum Problem

IMG_1611.JPGIMG_1615.JPGIMG_1617.JPG

I replaced all the barbs with Parker 1/8″ x 1/8″ push lock fittings.   (I purchased from Grainger like MEP1 told me to.  Thanks)  But I am having a weird problem I can not figure out.

2/3 fragrances work, the one that does not work really should work though.  This is what I tried.

1)  Checked the wire from the timer to the solenoid with a voltmeter.  Works

2)  Button works and makes a sound when pushed, the air also keeps running when the button is pushed.

3)  When I rewire (hot wire) frag 2 to frag 3 (broken) the solenoid will work fine.

4)  When I rewire (hot wire) frag 3 (broken) to frag 2 the solenoid will not work.

5)  Swapped the timer with another fragrance vacuum.  Still does not work.

6)  Ground seems to be all connected fine to the solenoid.  Checked with voltmeter.

7)  Rewire from the timer wire (wire harness) to the solenoid and still did not work.

The only things I did not check:

1)  Voltage

2)  Rewiring the wire on the wire harness to the solenoid.

You do not see this everyday

This truck is hauling a variety of equipment.  You do not see a automatic going down the road everyday.  (It looks like a Ryko?  Or a Cadillac?)

This car is in the wrong location.  You see this every once in a while, people enjoy driving on the rail road tracks.

How not to remove a pulley?

IMG_1559.JPGIMG_1564.JPGIMG_1566.JPGIMG_1567.JPG

So I purchased the Harbor Freight “3 Jaw Puller Set” (32184) today for $12 and proceeded to put together all the pullers.  I installed the correct puller then broke the pulley.

I guess I needed to remove the pen thing first (2nd picture with arrow)?  Not really sure how to remove it though.  I already removed the screw but not quite sure how to slide the piece out?  

Trying to fix an air compressor

IMG_1517.JPGIMG_1512.JPGIMG_1516.JPG40965.gif

I am trying to fix one of my air compressors that I have laying around in the basement.  I have one motor that seems to work but the pulley is missing.  So I need to remove a pulley off a non-working motor and put it on a working motor.  I have never done this before but I did remove the nut thing on the side and I guess I need a puller pulley set?  I will try and purchase a set tomorrow from Harbor Freight.

Circuit City gives out free money?

Circuit City has this call ahead service where you can just call or order online and pick up your item.  So I was looking at the newspaper to spend some money on something I do not need and saw a keyboard.  This Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 is black and was on a pretty good sale for $40.  So I called ahead and after 24 minutes I showed up at Circuit City.  (If the item is not ready in 24 minutes you get a gift card for $24.)  So guess what happened?

Merry Late Christmas to Eric and it only took an extra 10 minutes, which is pretty good.  They must be working on the customer service!
