Yesterday the clutch went on my van, the garage loaned me a van and i was given the opportunity to have the new pheonix lifted into it for the day.
What a machine, the suck is amazing, some time ago the little rod that is inside the lips of my wand to keep them apart broke and was lost to my waste tank, well it had never been a problem in the past with my spitfire or any other machine, until today that is. I couldn't understand why i was getting a wet line down the middle of my strokes, when i looked the machine was pulling so hard it was collapsing my wand and i use a glide so there is airflow there.
Spent the rest of the day running at 1/2 throttle to stop my wand lips from closing and still had more suck than my 4.0 and loads of heat quick!
it is also a very light machine too and the swb boxer 1.9 that i borrowed didn't feel like it had anything in the back. installation took about 10 mins forked it in and connected the battery, strapped it down with ratchet straps(obviously would normally be bolted) and off i went.
definately a machine worth looking at!
