just fitted new vac myself

both vacs making right kinda noise's but got no suction

any idea's 

[Fintan_Coll]

Are they those Italian vacs by any chance, I don't like them. Lamb Ametec are the only ones worth fitting.

Did you take note which connector went to what terminal don’t think it would be terminal if you haven’t

[Joe H]

Have you checked each vac independently?
I think they are in series, meaning one pulls thro the other.
If one vac not working the other one may cause it to spin, but not sufficient to suck.
(but thinking about it, some suction would be there......I think)
Worth checking.

machine been out of use since i dismantled it about 6 months ago

so i kind of forgot how it all went

one vac motor will connect to the other - thats the hoses not the electrics.

Which Lamb motor fits?

Do the mounts line up without bracket etc.

A mate of mine takes his machine to a place in Bristol, can't remember their name off hand, but I'll call him in the morning and ask.

My Powrflite has 2 mounting points for the Imperial
vac motors, so with lamb motors an adaptor needs
to be made up, the holes will not align without it.

You should have 3 large flexible pipes, 1 from where the
connecting pipe from the stack comes through to vac 1,
the second from No 1 exhaust, to the manifold below
vac No 2, the third from No 2 exhaust into the casing
of the machine.

I suspect either the motors are not squarely fittd on their
respective manifolds, or maybe the connecting pipe from the
stack through the pump/heating section is kinked or come off.

You cannot wire a vac motor wrong as it will spin correctly whatever
the polarity of the supply.

What the hell have you done to that machine?  Two vacs and a noisy pump!!! 

[markpowell]

Is the waste gate closed?

[chores hygiene management ltd]

hands up anyone who has been in a strop about their machine not sucking then 5 mins of mardy later you realise its the gate ? or would that be everybody at some point ??

[AJB]

It doesn't have a waste gate, it's a stoppered pipe.
