looking for replys from poeple who run more than 6 batteries straight to one pump and have made it somewhat reliable....

i can run 10 straight in a single pump hopper just fine, but i know it will smoke a solenoid before the days over. so who is doing what???? :biggrin:

If you get some of the old Accurate solenoids they will hold up to it if you can HIT it right, the motor on the other hand will be dead real quick.

what do you think of the "accumax" that bought out accurate???

IN OUR SINGLE PUMP WE RUN 10 BATTERIES WITH 6 SOLENOIDS.BUT U HAVE TO USE A GOOD MOTOR LIKE OLD SCHOOL PLUS FROM PRESTOLITE.DON'T TRY ON SACO MOTORS

thanks for the response. what kind of soleniod you runnin? i usally get what ever kragen has with a 2 year warrenty ( i haven't paid for one in years,lol)


i was talkin to the fork lift tech at work today and he has a 36v all metal (no plasitc china crap) looks just like a starter soleniod he says he wil hook me up with for $25 a pop, i think i will get a few and see what happens, bbuutt then i will have to runn my switches at at least 36V to operate them.

everybody keep the responses coming, thanks

looks like i am gonna order som accurates, i was running 72 volts and had two sepperate batteries for the switches(8 total, now i want all 8 to the face), but now i want more power. the same niods, same location they have been in for years, they just couldn't handle the 96 volts.

thanks for all the replies

I wouldn't post that up if it weren't true. I have to orange monte carlo. Watch this video and listen to the pump when I miss.. That ain't no 72 volts! I broke a bolt to my front cup, so i had to stop.

my car

and monty c, thats a nice video, has some nice cars in it. i would like to see more of your car, looks clean. what i am saying is me-and everybody i know-- have never been able to run more than 6 batteries with only 3 seliniods, but then again most of us have been runnig what ever the auto parts store has in stock. i think its pretty amazing that you are able to run 10 batteries straight- on only 3. i am gonna get on the prohopper web site right now and order me a few accurates. :biggrin:
