We have an old Craftsman wet and dry vac. The last time I tried to
use it there was no suction. It had plenty of air blowing out - I
could have used it for a leaf blower. Does anyone know what would
cause a problem like this?
Thanks.

It must be getting intake air from someplace or it couldn't be use as
a blower.

Where don't you have suction? At the end of the hose or where the hose
attaches to the unit?

Is the top fully on such that it's actually creating a vacuum inside
the canister and not sucking air in around the rim?

Does it have a drain cap near the bottom? Is that screwed on tight?
