LOL.

I have one that I use to light off on 21 GPH. Had to wait for a relay to come in.
Its back to normal now.

Anything over 30, I let run on low until the part comes in. (next day air )

Hope you got one on order.

No, boss said it hadn't worked in years, and leave it like that. Only worked there a short time and quit. Wouldn't let me take service truck home, wanted me to leave all my tools in the truck every night in an open lot, and wouldn't pay me for the time it took to load and unload my tools.

Dang, that would bite.

His logic was that since it would only pull 24" following a compressor change well duh just leave the pump running must be dirty. Grinds my %^&$ and tickles me pink. His quages were about 5 pounds out of calibration too low and seal in the hoses hi connect was bad. The system was indeed tight though.
We do a lot of 100 ton plus stuff and even then we can pull most of them down in fairly short order with a proper pump.

Sounds to me like you aren't useing a micron guage. No technician can be a good technician without one. That would have told him in short order if it was tight or not. If you don't use them you are short changing your customers.

One night I got a service call. Drove 30 miles one way. Loaded all my tools into service van. Drove to within 3 miles of my house. Half hour service call. Drove back to shop. Unloaded tools and drove home. They would only pay me from the time I left their lot to the time I got back. That was enough for me.
