Ok I got on your favorite website (CL) and found a guy with an Airless for $60... I gave him $40.
I bought it because I wanted the Hose. When I got home, darned hose had 7 kinks in it!
Ah well the hose had no leaks and it worked with my (NEW) $50 Graco Magnum gun on my other $5 Airless.
I figured what the heck let me test this Airless the guy said didn't work or needed O-rings ...He didn't know!
I hooked it up and it worked fine... For about 5 minutes and then the thing sounded like it went back to PRIME. I flipped the switch to prime and back and it started spraying again. I thought I could live with that unless I'm up a ladder. The intake was not original, it was a piece of plastic grey conduit. I swapped it out with the pictured intake hose.
Nah, still messed up after about 5 minutes. I looked over at the airless and noticed an Air bubble at the top of the intake. I slipped on an oring because it had large treads on the intake point and wrapped it with plumbers tape, slipped the hose back on (This time with a hose clamp) Played with it for 2 hours spraying soapy water.
I spent a total of Airless $40, Gun $50, Hose $7 and new factory intake hose $25.
Then I still needed another gun and look what I got for $23
3 full guns not pictured, These are what I cleaned and put together from a bucket of parts.
Also got a second 50' hose for $10
Anyone wanna buy the diaphragm airless? treefiddy?
