FIMCO Sprayer Problem

[Kansascpicker]

I purchased a used sprayer; it worked fine when I bought it, as shown by the seller. The Tee-valve works on every setting, (C, LH, RH, CLH, CRH), Except A for all. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts you may have; I am a new member and very impresses with TBN...Thnx!

I have never had my T valve apart, so I wouldn't know. Possibly a plugged port?
I do know they are rather inexpensive, ~$70 at Tractor Supply

Do you get no flow at all from the ALL port. Take it apart and clean it.

You may be able to do this with just removing the supply and discharge hoses and probe with a wire to loosen up the scale build up, then flush with a hose. Also you may be able to attach a water hose to it and blow out whatever is inside if you have enough pressure. I have 100PSI on my outdoor hoses and most pumps only but out 40 PSI so the extra pressure might blow things out. IF not then try compressed air before disassembling the valve.

Kansascpicicker, did you check the pickup screen and the inlet screen at the pump? You may have a small amount of debris which will still let enough get pass to run some but not all nozzles. Or has the pump been replaced with a smaller volume pump which isn't big enough to supply all the nozzles? Or is the pump weak and need tube rebuilt or replaced?

Oops, my bad, the "A" is not for ALL, "LRC" makes the whole boom work; sprayer works fine...thanks for considering my "problem"...
