Wholly crap hahaha I tried to check the o- ring on the pump rod of the Jack .. went smooth till I was putting it back together and the retaining bolts would not start to thread back in with the springs installed tried over and over and over again .. walked away and came back and they finally started .. damn , I’m in a jinxed mode for sure .. but the kicker was , I had to run and get more Jack oil and bleed the air again .. got the air out and lowered the Jack lift and it stopped so I put my foot on it to push it down easy and all of a sudden POW the filler plug exploded out and the Jack oil soaked my ass from head to toe ,, shit tastes terrible and surely blurs your vision .. I can’t find the little rubber plug anywhere . I think it may have blasted off and is no orbiting earth hahaha ! I’m not sure I can even get a new one .. why the hell wouldn’t they have just put a threaded plug in the damn thing is beyond me ! I’ll have to search and check stores and see if I can find something that will work I guess .

I found the missing fill plug this morning , yeah ! If it was a snake it would have bit me ! Jack still won’t lift once it hits the truck frame ! Boo ! NEXT !
What the heck is so hard that sears can’t continue to make a Jack rebuild kit ? It’s nothing but O-rings , pastic split washers , check balls and a seal or 2 … UNREAL !

I'm thinking you should price a new Jack and pressure washer with the spring sales come on in a week! Then fix these for a hobby

The thought has passed in one thought ear and out the other :D . Around $600 already spent on crap that doesn’t last after less than a dozen times used … Price to replace both would cost even more today for tools I won’t use very often is not a good choice and a waste of dollars IMO ! I don’t want to use the stupid truck Jack ,, never trusted those things for a reason or 2 . I’m also not sure about the Walmart type, northern tool jacks as they may not be able to Jack the truck up high enough with out putting boards or bricks under them . Decisions decisions :confused:.

I may have to run around and match O-rings and plastic split washers , check balls if needed and hope I can find the right sized seal .. If not the dumpster gets to eat ! :eek:
 
Today I will get the carb number off the pressure washer . Pull the carb and check and spray it with carb cleaner and see if that fixes it .. I found a carb but they want an over $100 for it and I’m not sure if it is the correct one yet .. also what appears to be a rebuild kit for about $23 if needed . But it sure didn’t look like it has everything needed for a full rebuild like the primer ball . I haven’t found anywhere that has a replacement primer ball !

Do you fry, bake or air fry them? I'm pretty sure deep frying is the only way they're gonna be even close lol

No chit ,,, it has become one hell of an adventure and definitely a laughing matter hahahaha ! But hey I did get to have dessert , that Jack oil with leak stop in it is less filling and lubricates dry eyes :D

it also gives me the opportunity to test super clean on my cloths .. there soaking in the diluted solution now hahaha !

I agree on the waste of dollars thing for sure! And the newer products are made Amen more crapoy and probably won't last. My net is you'll probably get this done! You are on a mission!

not the same products but we found a very cool Walker transmission jack from the very early days with no hydraulics - it's manually operated and what was wrong with that design that they had to go and mess things up anyways?

Well crossing the fingers and toes didn’t help today .. float bowl gasket on the carb broke apart .. need to get a new one to even try starting it again. I’m not paying for a stupid oring gasket $15 for a $2.34 part the size of a silver dollar hahahaha ! I will have to see if I can find one at the hardware store or Home Depot that will work …

but first might have to be a new damn TV which went black screen on me today while searching online for a oring … Please send a Preist Exorcism required !
