can anyone recommend a small fsc to work on a 16 lpm, 3600 psi washer,  I haven't got the funds yet for a whirl away    or mosmatic yet.     a 12 inch one should do to be getting started with until funds increase again. but one which can handle 16lpm.
 theres one on ebay @ £249,     company based in northallerton.  any ideas.  or just use turbo and save up. :-[ :P

That looks a good little surface cleaner mate, looks very robust, the only beter thing about the northern tools one is the size, theyre not bad either, I have used ome, they do the job, just make sure you put the right nozzles in when you get it, (2 x 025's) as northern tools just send them out with standard nozzles, not sur ewhat size they are but worth changing so then you know your operating at optimum performance

I know mate, but you wont get one that size for that money anywhere apart from northern tools, plus Ive dealt with that guy who your talking about (if it's the same one) when I forst started out, he sold me a set of nozzles that were too small for my machine and then tried to sell me a 20 inch whirlaway when I have a little 5.5 hp honda???? clearly only interested in taking my money and not giving me advice and products that I need, at the time I was oblivious, he obviously knew I didnt have a clue and was still prepared to rip me off and take my money....
Ive never been back since.... he's lost as some months I spend over a grand with the suppliers / engineers I deal with now...

usually theyre 1/4 inch bsp, but take the nozzles out and check first as mosmatics are 1/8 bsp

when buying a whirlaway      are the fittings on them to use your hose pushfit connection straight onto trigger gun as you would your lance

Simon Daniel's a c**t, he's buys things me and you can buy from Northern Tools, only he has Northern Tools send direct to you rather than stock. C**ts like him drive up the price of equipment in the market.

Lee, just looked at the price of those castors.... £9 each from centurywise! f**k me! Yuo dont need to replace all that either, just the wheels.
Johnny, those general pump whirlaway are cheaper, and they look okay, (general pump are the same company interpump)
