I have a 16706 Sears sandblaster that a friend gave me. I can't get it
to get any suction on the suction line. Dumped it out, disassembled.
Ceramic is broken. Can't find a replacement for ceramic, have a e mail
in to Sears. Looks simple enough. Am I missing something? What should
operating pressure be? I have a Husky 5hp with a 33 gal tank. Is that
enough? Sure want to get this running. Any advice, or where I can get
replacement ceramics? The one in there is a tube, and all I'm seeing is
conical shaped ceramics. Anyone got one of these? It's the 50 pound size.

Thanks

Steve

Fixed broken hose. Reversed collett. Tried it on nearest thing, my
hand. Damn, it works good now.

Works a whole lot better, too, if you turn the ceramic in the right
direction.
