Post by: Mr Sparkle on June 06, 2013, 06:49:56 pm
My trolley system as started making a right racket and not sure what it could be?  ???

It used to be really quiet but last few days its started making a really loud humming noise similar to a bus engine, Any idea what it could be??

As don't want to buy a new trolley if its something silly

What kind of pump is it?



If it's a flojet it could be the cam bearing, this operates the diaphragm.

I've got 1 down witht this prob ATM.

If it's a shurflo pump it may be the bushes on the rotar.

Cheers guys I was thinking it could be the pump.
To be honest I'm not sure what trolley it is as had it off a friend who used to be a windie.

I usually use my pure freedom but have van mounted that one.
This one is a 40litre trolley with all the workings built in the back so no way of finding out unless I strip it  :'( :'(

Just hope it can keep going as don't want to buy another trolley  :( :(

There is a new windy in our town drives one of these new ford vans. Painted it black just like a hearse, White sign writing on the sides looks a real shady character. There was nice chap with a red van, but he has disappeared, I think the chap with the black van has had him done in.I am sure the truth will come out soon enough.Maybe the red van guy is in with Richie. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
