I have a 21 gallon pull behind yard spray rig, with the Northstar 2272Q pump. I have been using for around 2 years no problem. I always clean the tank really well, with ammonia after each use. I use approx 8 times a year.
Yesterday, was the first day, I left a tank half full overnight. I got off work today, and turned on the pump, to agitate the chemical. I let it agitate for about 10 minutes and went to spraying, and it is not working correctly. I am not sure if leaving chemical overnight did this, or if i let it sit there and pump to long without spraying anything.
I have approx 12 gallons with a mixture of Bifen XTS and Acepahte. I really need to get this out but not sure what to do.
Problem: When in agitate, it is reading 40 psi, whenever i turn open the nozzles to begin spraying, my pump pressure drops to pretty much zero. I am getting a little out of the nozzles, but not much at all, I can shut the nozzles back off, and the pressure returns, i can open the nozzles back up, and it sprays great, for a few seconds, long enough to burn off the pressure, then back to weak spray and zero pump pressure. I dont see any leaks. I dont think the lines are clogged, because they all spray great, when i first open them.
I am running off a deep cycle 12V battery (Group 31), so battery level is fine. Pulling with Dixie Chopper, and it cranking just fine also.
This is my exact spray rig and pump: https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200646314_200646314
Did i burn up my pump? Is there something simple I am forgetting?
Thanks in advance for any help. Sorry if wrong thread!
