Man, those “fancy pants” parts, get me every time!!! Great vid!!! Going to clean my pump tomorrow! Thx man!

[@adoptdontshop1626]

Oh man, thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one who has trouble with these pumps! I'm on my 4th one. I dont use them more than about 3x and they quit. I'm going to try your methods because I haven't got anything to lose. So frustrating!

[@ElectricHorse138]

Hell yeah brother! Just repaired my pump watching this video. Thank You!

[@steveclark4291]

I just recently started subscribed to your channel because I had seen you out with the History Seekers at a bottle dig ! I like watching channels that tells about their finds and explain the history of it !

[@ExploringAlabama]

can't tell if you displeased or thrilled, either way thanks for stopping by

[@ExaltedWarrior]

This is the best no bullshit video ever.

[@JohnVillers]

Hey buddy thanks for the video.. I saw this video after I just put my pump back together with no luck.. I was reluctant to tear it back down.. ended up finding a quicker way to fix it by shooting compressed air in the outlet then the inlet.. cleared right out give it a shot next time!

[@drfix2020]

Thanks for posting, got the same pump & had to get into the suction side to clean out crud that was clogging the pump just didn't know how the check valve seal comes off.

[@karlatullos2193]

If I had one of these sprayers that wasn’t working properly, I’d send you flowers after watching this video!!!!!! Many thanks from everyone who benefitted because you took the time to make an incredibly useful show and tell!!!!!!! ❤️

[@sarahdespain5184]

For the win 4 yeara later sir. Thank you!

[@txpitmaster6127]

Thank you sir for the video! It saved me a new pump.

[@jhors7777]

Thank you for posting this helpful and amusing video

[@FisherCatProductions]

Great vid. Thanks he other common problem with these is the pressure switch going bad and it won't run at all. You can pull the cap from the end of the switch and jump across the two terminals. If it runs the switch is bad. Make sure you have power going to the pressure switch! If not, the on/off line switch is probably bad.

[@cowboyjeep94]

Thanks man. It worked like a charm. Then I pumped the plunger on both sides and it works perfectly. I bought a new tank for half price cause the pump wasn’t working.

[@ExploringAlabama]

Glad it helped

[@reedschneider9376]

Thank you! I was preparing to purchase a new pump!

[@garyo4080]

Thank you for sharing this, this helped my issue!

[@ExploringAlabama]

Glad it helped!

[@gregorylazo9868]

Hello, like someone else commented. I sprayed compressed air in the inlet and it’s working.

[@MNpicker]

Very well explained 👍🏼

[@mikethimm660]

I have been frustrated with this the past few years and figured out the solution. Modify the sprayer to make it a constantly flooded pump so the pump has a gravity feed from the tank and it works! I think Fimco wants to sell check valves and that's why they manufacture them with pumps mounted higher on the tanks.

[@byronolson1221]

hate that damn Fimco sprayer of mine....great video

[@garymartin8619]

Thank you for the video

[@Sam-pw8zh]

Well I was haft way there. Went and got another and did the same thing. Thank you

[@higgsjunk]

Helped me! Thanks

[@liamstone3437]

I tried the compressor trick. It worked for most of the job and something went wrong and I was down to a weak stream again. I will give it a shot a few more times then try the tear down method.

[@user-lt5gq8ck8h]

This works great!

[@steveclark4291]

Thank you for the info now I can possibly get one of my sprayers working again !

[@michaelclark8680]

Best instruction video ever!

[@ExploringAlabama]

Thanks!

[@markt9263]

My sprayer stopped working yesterday. I didn’t get to throw it around the yard or drag it behind my truck yet. Great video! I will be working on mine tomorrow.

[@ExploringAlabama]

lol

[@carlfritz9496]

Excellent video! Thanks!

[@ExploringAlabama]

Glad you liked it!

[@jeffpennington2043]

Man. I'm ready to ride in the scout....... 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍✌👀🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@sherriorsucci6783]

This is a great video and very accurate. However, these sprayers are a piece of crap! I have a brand new one that won't hold pressure. I did everything and it still won't spray right. I'm returning it and won't buy another one. I had one previous to this one and had to replace the pump several times.

[@mcgriffgriff]

Don't have a scout but I do have a 75 bronco that doesn't run.

[@WallsBeeMan]

What other side ?

[@KensStuff]

it sounds like you have debris getting in and plugging things up. try putting a ( hi flow ) filter in between the tank and pump and see if that cures your problem. try tractor supply they may have something that will work.

[@thoringuidry]

thanks for the video. my 8 gallon pump sprayer from northern tool stopped working the third time I ever used the stupid thing...was about to buy a new pump and yell and curse a lot. Gonna try this when I get home and see if it will prevent some anger. Question...did your pump make any noise like the motor was at least working, just not pumping. Cause mine went dead silent...hopefully this fix works.

[@ExploringAlabama]

yes it made noise

[@kevinmckinley3305]

I dread using this type of sprayer because you never know if it’s going to work or it’s going to be a half day adventuring in you tubing trying to diagnose and fix these low quality products. Watched your video this AM it was helpful but problem with mine was deeper so had to run to TSC and get new pump $84 and about 2 hours later I’m finished but a better product would save us all trouble.

[@tillmansomethinrother8649]

It's designed to break down. It's plastic. Thanks for that information.

[@WallsBeeMan]

Are you saying use WD-40 or do not ?

[@397coney7]

No. Carb or brake cleaner.

[@oldbamadirt1510]

will just get you to do it for me lol. thats what thay say to me lol.

[@byronolson1221]

Fimco sprayers are junk....mine does not self prime. Good video, thanks

[@evankibbe590]

Lol . You will need a scout that don't run lol . It will runn .😊👍

[@RandolphRelicRecovery]

Do you rinse it good with water after running chemicals?

[@ExploringAlabama]

not at all. I use it as a "many use straw" since single use straws are taboo now. The flow rate when drinking tea is amazing

[@wildpigremovalinc.executio8028]

I rinse mine every time, I have learned that an ounce of prevention helps with a lot of frustration. But my motor after winter storage would not pump. I disassembled the top end of the pump. I'm afraid to use break cleaner thinking it will eat the cheap plastic or the diaphragm. I washed the diaphragm with dishwasher soap and primed the pump with clean water and it worked pushing the water through the pump. I primed the pump a second time and reconnected the tank supply hose with out loosing the water that I put into the pump, then mounted the motor in place. Working as it should. Good luck.

[@RandolphRelicRecovery]

@@wildpigremovalinc.executio8028 a bit of elbow grease saved some money. Good show👍

[@rogerjames6797]

My scout runs so should I brake it B4 I work on the pump ? Hahahaha😂

[@justinitsthatguyme010]

These pumps seem to last no more than 2 years in my experience, if that

[@nascarmommam5915]

Ok. ~ Texas

[@williamwalker7221]

This didn't work for me, used one time piece a crap Chinese pump.

[@MakePeace123]

Dont buy this brand they are aweful
