Motor starter would not start the motor. The motor starter would be depressed and make a humming noise but nothing happened, then the breaker would blow. I have no clue except maybe the motor starter is bad?
Moody tear down fun?
Tons of hoses from the automatic and some signs on top.
Some Mark 7 self serve equipment, 3 1/2 bays.
Some Jim Coleman equipment, spot free, bug remover, and triple shine units. We took 2 loads of stuff today and more fun scheduled for tomorrow. All I need to do is find a use for all this stuff or sell it!
Moody tear down fun?
Today, I did not do anything very exciting except removing a lot of signs, misc. crap and a ton of hose clamps.
William started to break down the automatic and tomorrow we are going to start tearing out the self serve equipment.
Equipment room cleanup
After moving the pumping units yesterday I decided to cleanup the crap that was behind them today. I would never guess I had so much crap under the pumping stations. I did find a lot of screwdrivers though.
Pontiac Trans AM model change?
I saw a Trans AM today that was bigger then I remember the older model was. This model change is not very aerodynamic either.
Moody tear down
My Dad sold his Moody carwash to investors that are tearing the place down and I get around 90% of the equipment. My first project is the vending island removal. I’m excited!
I removed all the vending machines and I am going to try and remove the island tomorrow. If anyone has any great ideas let me know. There is only about a 1″ cap on top of a lot of sand.
The BIG move!
William, my Dad, and I moved the old equipment to my house today. It was surprisingly not that bad. The truck is a 350 and my little car is next to it for scale. I believe that you can fit my car in the bed of the truck (or at least it looks like it). Thanks for helping me move the equipment William!
That took all day?
I technically hooked the last 2 bays up, so I have all 4 bays working off the Coleman equipment. The setup will not win any beauty contests. I did have a wire problem that was giving me a constant coin pulse to the timer. I had to swap some wires a long time ago because of a wire short, which cause me to have to retrace all the wires today. FUN. All this crap needs to be redone: we will see when that happens because it works now.
More Jim Coleman fun
I installed the 3/8″ air line today. I officially switched 2 bays over to the new Coleman equipment and tomorrow the other 2. But I am going to have to extend the 11 wire bay wires, which I am not looking forward to.
NOOOOO ITS THE RED WIRE!!!!!!
I still do not know what the yellow wire does but I know it is not the motor starter, that is the red wire.
I could not figure out what the problem was today with my high pressure soap and wax and I knew it had to be a Coleman setup misunderstanding. So I called Greg and he answered my question over the phone! The problem I was having was I was getting pressurized water from the water line where I expected gravity feed. Greg explained to me the way the Coleman unit works, it uses cold water at city pressure for rinse and hot water or gravity feed for high pressure soap and wax. My problem was exactly what Greg told me over the phone and was a miswiring. Thanks Greg.
