Alright so I'm done messing around with the syphon feed cabinet. I went out and got a 40lb pressure pot like the one I previously got rid of. I just can't seem to get these things figured out.
It has 4 valves:
1 - Main air in
2 - Air from top of pot to bottom
3 - Air + Sand at bottom to hose
4 - Tip/Nozzle
I set the pressure to about 50-60 and let the tank fill up, I see the gauge on the pot reach about 55psi and I open the valve on top, then the valve on bottom. Then I hit the trigger and it works great for about 5 seconds. Then it stops shooting media, only air. I kick the pot or shake it and it spits media out for another 10 seconds, then all over again. What am I doing wrong?
Any help will be really appreciated! I have projects waiting and figuring out this blasting tonight would be a GREAT help. Thank you!
