    this time it is more like freckles....Are you ready for the fix from our tech..............



    A piece of electrical tape over a manifold hole to adjust the suction..works like a charm.:cool:..This fix is almost as funny as our plastic bag over the carrier door to stop the open cover fault.

    It reduces the vacuum to the upper dev housing manifold. I initially wrote the technical tip that your tech followed :) but I use a rolled up top off of a carrier box instead of the tape

    We had this in a few colours, ended up cutting a bit from a spare transport belt and placing it between the pipe. Works brilliantly!!

    Er no. I have one machine with a plastic bag over it as well :) It works so we'll leave it there

    We use a sheet of reusable adhesive vinyl for the open cover fault. Works like a charm. Our tech has our Igen so rigged I think at half of it came from Pepboys.

    Hello Mark,

    I have been having a lot of problems with the black spitting and causing all kinds of issues. Where can I find this manifold hole so that I can put electrical tape over it?
