I have everything really ironed out on the new to me Grasshopper. The last thing is the air flow indicator. It is an airflow sensor of some sort inside a filtered disc that is actuated by air flow and closes a pair of contacts when airflow ceases which activate a piezo horn. This tells you that the hopper is full or that the hose is plugged, either situation the operator needs to know about.
I am getting voltage to the sensor, but it is not closing contacts when there is airflow. The darn thing costs $182 or I would just replace it.
Anyone know what's inside that disc to serve as an airflow sensor? If I can't fix it, I will just put a screen in it's place.
Thanks for any information or experience that you can share.
