I tried to pump some syrup from a barrel to my bottler last Friday when the temperature was about 58 F. Nothing would move. It has been about 3 weeks since I last used it. The pump is an ARO pump. I'm thinking the check balls might be stuck closed or open, or the diaphragms might be damaged. I plan to remove the pump and bring it home. There I'll try to get some hot water into it to dissolve any sugar and I'll connect a compressor the operate then pump. If that fails I'll open the pump to see what the issue is. I have a spare parts kit if needed.
Any ideas that might help?
