Got a call, form Greg in Canada. He looked for help but could not find this answer.
Why is the machine making shot too small? He has #5 drippers but shot make #7 1/2 all day! Round , perfect just wrong size.
Turns out Previous Owner of machine Modified it with stove top element. Way too hot. 2200 watts maybe? we are checking into that now to confirm..
As it turns out P.O. was making shot when it was very cold, way below freezing outside, SO his shop was too cold to work with our standard element.
NOW, that machine is being used in a shop not as cold and the drippers, and lead are getting too hot and making shot too small.
I never get this call in the winter. Most times the shot is bigger than we want because it is TOO COLD in out shops…so this was rare enough and unique, because when I do get calls about this issue is in the summer when folks are doing it in shops with our any ac or swamp coolers….thought I would share a bit...
