Looking for some advice, I have a powerflite pfx 1350 and typically enough I travelled about 50 miles in the country to start cleaning a hotel that was closed for the winter and needed the carpets cleaned, sure enough after I finished the diningroom the machine began playing up
Drove back home and a mate was good enough to lend me his machine so i could finish the job. Anyhow what happened was, the machine vacs sounded like they were slowing down, and then one popped I knew it was going to happen, could smell it burning. But the strange thing is that it worked ok for a while, when I ran the remaining vac along with the pump, then it started cutting out after a while and then nothing-nada.
Dropped the machine off to a guy i know who fixes electrical equipment, etc. and he ran the pump for about an hour and said the pump seemed ok to him.
Did a job today and it worked ok, bricking it incase it packed in again. I have the machine about three years and never had the pump serviced because I live over here south west of Ireland and never came across anybody who services carpet cleaning machines over here. I presume I can get a service kit for the pump from amtech and then have the daunting task of putting it in. Has anybody done it and is it a big deal. Sorry This post is a bit long winded
