made it to the river Sunday for a little testing , change a lot of things and wanted to see if they worked right. had to wait 3 weeks for the rain to slow up and the river to go down.
got the dredge put together and ready to give it a try
trying to find out why the pumps will not prime
no luck, had to pack the dredge into the trailer and bring it back to the shop. got the air compressor out and ran pressure thru all the lines for the prime , no air. started tearing lines off the find out why. i had left the lines unhooked for a couple of days while i bought and installed a couple new valves. damn mud wasp had built a nest in one of the lines. put a wire up the line and blew all the crap out, now works like a champ.

as them nasty arse mud dobbers will plug up anything they can fill. I hate it when they make it all the way into the head and then teardown mandatory. I had a huge nest in on top of my airfilter inside also and tooooo many others to list. Looks great bud and by god tons a au 2 u 2-John
