    Hey Jeremy, so i noticed the spacers between the pump and the engines crankcase. I wonder why they are there. Because on any gx390 or similar washer, theres no spacers. It just bolts direct, pump to engine with no issues. It just seems like a lot of risk of water or even moisture getting in, and causing absolute chaos. Or even worse SH

    How is it going man?! I built the same machine a couple of days ago with the Predator 459 instead of the 420 for PSI purpose but I was setting my unloader and for some reason I couldn’t get any more than 1000 PSI with open trigger and it spikes up to 1500 PSI on bypass. If I crank the unloader it increases the spike too much. Do you have any idea what it could be? The unloader is the VRT3

    • @KentuckyWashPros
      @KentuckyWashPros  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      What kind and size tip are you using to set the unloader? To set it correctly you'll need a 6.5 or 7.0 (orifice size) zero degree tip (red tip) to properly set and adjust your unloader.

Your videos actually show this equipment in use. And are you still having issues with the predator 670 fuel pump? I've heard from many sources it's complete trash and should be replaced.

      @@ctbulldogs3518 I built my budget build from Heaths parts list but at the time there wasn’t really an in depth build video, so I decided to make one. The only thing that may be different is the links I needed up getting nearly all my stuff from PWP. I think at the time there were only a handful of people running these builds and not a whole lot of experience with or info on them.
      I am still having issues with the 670, I have switched the fuel pump out once and not luck with that and I am about to switch it out again this time with a Mikuni fuel pump and if necessary I’m going to add a low pressure 12v fuel pump. I believe that it could partially the fuel tank causing the issues as well. The 670 has moments that it runs great when it is getting enough fuel.
      The AR 30 is a beast, I love it and would recommend anyone to build one.

      I don't think you heard correctly. I set a timer for 3 hours when I started the engine for the break-in process. I shut off the engine at 3 hours and my timer went off. The hour meter matched the timer that I set. So if the hour meter would have run differently than the timer, then it would be a faulty hour meter and not worth using....Not sure what kind of point you're trying to make.
