On my JB DV-142 5cfm pump, the cartridge itself is held together by two allen screws so when I removed the 4 hex bolts, the cartridge stayed together. Another youtuber showed how he rebuilt the cartridge on his smaller JB pump. He had to hone the surfaces flat, and reversed one of the plates which was badly scored. When he reassembled the cartridge, he used two pins or drillbits that were snug fit in the 4 holes to align all the segments of the cartridge, tightened those two allen bolts down, then removed the pins and bolted the cartridge back in place. The two allen bolts go through the cartridge from the opposite side from the 4 hex bolts so you may not see those at first. I'm taking mine apart right now, so far mine looks pretty good inside, though it would only draw down to 120 microns when I started, after changing the oil 4 times with warmups between each change. Motor couple exploded after the 4th change, and had to wait for Amazon to send me a new coupler. Easy install. Specifications say it should go down to 15 microns on the DV-142-N version (newer than my DV-142). I'll be happy with 50 microns, but can live with under 120, as I am not a paid professional HVAC technician. I got my schooling in the Navy years ago, back when R-12 and R-22 were king! Prett rusty now though!
Yes that is rebuilding but notice that most of the company's don't sell or show parts inside of the cartridge What he showed is not rebuilding total waist of time.
I got to step 1 of the process and found that the coupling was shredded with little bits of rubber everywhere. That's why it's not pulling vacuum. I was able to turn the shaft by hand easily though. You can call JB industries directly for parts that fit your specific pump. They'll need your serial number and model number, but I'd recommend talking to someone, since some of the parts on their website have been superseded by newer part numbers.
I want to know the order of stacking the reeds in the reed valve... this doesn't show that.
What is the part number for that rebuild kit. Our parts guy at Johnstone Supply has not found any kit that has o-rings any shaft seal. The kits they sold us have the drain, coupling, 4 rubber feet, & the sight glass.
Thank you very much for a very clear explanation. But where can we buy parts such as O- ring
So my big question is. Should the cartridge be able to turn? I try to turn it with hand and it’s firmly stuck. That’s the part sticking out off the cartridge that goes into the green part that fit into the motor. Once again the motor turns freely with hand but the other part will not move.
Did I miss the part where you put the oil in?
What size are the two screws that hold the feet?
Have a link for a rebuild kit on that 10 cfm?
HOW DO YOU REBUILD THE CARTRIDGE?
Always change your oil after every job. Never leave oil containing water in your pump to rust it!
After the oil is added Should you manually rotate pump before powering on for the first time after rebuild?
@Jason Antonio The pump comes with an instruction sheet. I believe JB suggests adding 2 to 3 ounces in the intake, but don't quote me. This should adequately lubricate the pump veins. They're just paddles spinning in a cylinder. No piston, oil pump, or passages to prepressurize.
You can always call JB Industries and ask to speak to Matt in repair.
JB is the best!
Can you please elaborate a bit better on how to prolong the life of the pump. You mentioned something along the line of what not to do on startup and shutdown, but I am not 100% clear on that. E.g. when vacuuming a car AC system, what is the proper procedure for starting it up and shutting it down?
Ensure the hand valve is closed on the vacuum pump, power up the vacuum pump, slowly open the hand valve on the vacuum pump, slowly open the valves on your gauge manifold or core removal tools.
I have a 7CFM JB and it won’t start period. In this case should I look into the motor or is there anything else I should consider?
Yes, with the vacuum pump unplugged, decouple the motor from the pump and see if the motor and pump turn freely by hand.
Ensure the on/off switch is closing by conducting a continuity test across the switch.
@@MechanicalPros thanks for your reply. I have a situation where the switch is broken so I just connect 1 &2 and plug it in. The motor turns freely with hand but it does not start when I plug it in. I get a humming sound I also check the Capacitor and it’s good. Am now thinking it might be the motor that’s gone.
Not so much a rebuild as a simple cartridge replacement
If not rebuild the vanes in the pump waist time you did nothing to rebuild the pump side.
