Both Rowe changers were jammed with the error message CK TRANSPORT VF. Like MEP1 suggested I would like to replace these Rowe bill acceptors but have not found a reasonable method. I also do not want to purchase all the parts for a new changer for the swap (computer, bill acceptor, and coin dispenser).
A couple of morons tried to break-in to my meter box and safe. Why would someone try to break-in to the coin acceptor entry (first picture top arrow)? They did get the bike lock off (it was weakened by previous attempts) but I guess the lock that was left was scary? They also tried to drill out the Medeco lock. They were not even close, thank goodness. It is a shame because how stupid are people to think that it is so easy to break-in to something that is left unattended all the time?
Not really sure on the make and model of this car? If I knew I would get the Birmingham Police straight on the case. Maybe this time they will say: “So they did not take anything? Why are you here again?”
I guess a mud rider clogged up the high pressure tip. Then it was below freezing and all of a sudden I have a problem. By the way; the person also busted my insulated lance on the high pressure gun.
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.
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.
I just cut off this bad bend in the vacuum hose. I am not really sure if I should just throw the whole hose away though?
I finished the fun septic tank digging for now. If you look at the back wall you can tell how much crap I dug out (first picture). The next picture shows what it looked like originally. The arrow in the middle shows the pvc pipe. Also I dug out a bay.
Vacuum claw problem. I guess it got run over.
I had a high pressure hose problem: small leak. A problem with a short hose I ordered (6 feet) it needed to be 7 feet. Also a tip (1/4″ MEG 1506) was clogged after I replaced the hose.
