I am running a 5850. It has worked great up through 10 jobs but yesterday it wouldnt kick on. I scratched my head for a few minutes then whacked it with a wrench and it took off. I know it wont last forever and I have been (1) contemplating buying another for backup (2) upgrading to the fatboy but I like being able to plug into an outlet or my pwer (3) upgrading to an AD pump I already have a 12 cfm Titan Industrial wheelbarrow style air compressor with 8 Gallon tank

I am seriously leaning towards (3)  My thinking is if im gonna spend 150 or 250 on the delevans why not spend a little more and go with the AD since im already halfway there.

I have a roof to do next week thats probably a 10/12 and it will be a stretch to reach it all from the eaves. I guess I would like the confidence that my pump can handle any job........ maybe I could chase some of these big dirty churches around here.

Any thoughts on this?
