Thru Tool Pump; It Works, It doesn't
The through the tool coolant pump is going out on our 2000, Mycenter 3X1. It takes a while to come on sometimes. If it hasn't been used for a while it takes about 10 minutes to get going.
We replaced the o-ring on the filter and I believe it's sealed up good. If it draws any air it loses prime in the pump. Kitamura wants around $3500 for the pump. I ordered a Dayton High Pressure Pump instead. There will be a lot of work to fit the new pump, it's a different style. This one is more vertically mounted instead of horizontally. Price on the new Dayton is $1315 from Grainger.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem/situation? Any comments or help is appreciated.
Still working in the "D".
