I notice on Altecs website they Electro motors but market them as low power or high power !

the high power is the 6600-49  1600w or so
the low power is the 6600-117 1200w

[stuart_clark]

Doh, think I would go for the high power, maybe have three in my Scorpy

Can you fit a 5.7 vac on a jag? As mine goes through its 6.6 vacs like one every four months and its costing me a fortune, I would sell machine but I lease it, so feel frustrated by the whole thing.

Md, do what I'm doing in my storm, replace both vacs with 😙 5.7

 In your case you would be attaching the internal hoses direct to the motor ...
 so if your fitting the 5.7s mentioned earlier you would choose the metal hose adapter ...   see it mentioned below the motor description , you would not need the gasket .

or Alltec or others may have them available for the 6600-49 version they sell

you would be better converting it into a scorpion and use three 5.7 vacs

[john martin]

 He'd really be better off pushing it off a cliff  ...
 but converting to a scorpion is no quick n easy undertaking ... repositioning
 the motors  , drilling the side connector hole , sourcing the various hoses check valve etc , adding another switch .
 I think you would be surprised what two of the High power electros can do and fitting them could be an hours work .

Now now John, youknow you dont mean that ! Poor scorpy
