[Donald]

Question i bought from you mytee 1003 dx. and the cat pump c313a works not so good recently . it takes a few seconds until the pressure goes up again when i am working with my hand wand sprayer . does it has a silling kit pump ? what i have to do to fix it ?

Answer: Please note that 99% of pump issues are operator caused and not a pump issue.
3 items need to be addressed.
1. You need to clean both stainless water filters and re-install. One is located inside the fresh water tank and the other inside the motor box.
2. You must lubricate and or rebuild and lubricate the pressure regulator.
3. You must vacuum prime the pump.

After you completed steps one through 3 the next step would be to bench test the pump.
