Hello Surcoat
I’ve had the same problem…HAVE…the same problem.
I believe it’s the actual Toggle Switch.
So…try this…flip it on and off like you’re ticked off.
See if it comes on. I hope it does.
Next…I’m now too afraid to shut it off. SO…when I clean or cycle…I just throw the “Directional Big Boy Toggle Switch”…on the side.
In other words…I don’t shut the pump off any longer before I divert the pressure from the Primer to the Gun Line…and / or the other way around.
That said…it’s best to kinda hold onto the Primer Tube when going FROM the Gun Line TO the Primer Tube. Quick pressure to the Primer tube will cause it to “Pop a Wheelie”…completely out of the bucket. Trust me on that one…but it’s better than turning off the pump to switch Pressure direction…only to find out NOW the pump won’t come back on.
Next…of course…I could buy another switch.
Next…I do have a question…you said “nothing”…does that mean there’s no pumping going on either?…or is it pumping its brains out…but not building pressure?
