fightinghippo Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I bought it as part of a tank I purchased. I didn't test it much except plug it in and see if it powered on. When I put it in the tank now after I power it on, I hear loud vibration noise and it goes for about 30-40 secs and then stops with the driver blinking red/ green I tried hard reset but that didn't help. I wanted to see if any one else who has mp60 can help with determining which side is the issue, dry or wet side( may be by trying each piece on their working one. my dry side with their wet side and the other way to isolate which one is the issue). I am near ikea but can bring the pump to you Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo662 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Do you know if they were cleaned good before you got them? Just thinking maybe the wet side got all gunked up inside and it was allowed to dry out. If so, maybe try soaking them in water / vinegar for about an hour.

fightinghippo Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 I opened it and sprayed vinegar and cleaned the goop. But will drop it in vinegar water and try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a tank similar to what u had in ur tank build a while back. Dsa 175 So I may hit you with some more questions on overflow setup etc .. Hope that's ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 How loose is the propeller and magnet? The propeller is held tight to the magnet via a a nut, and if that nut gets loose the magnet will spin, but the propeller won't. The magnet can also jump around when this happens and that can cause the whole system to bind and cause a stall. You may want to take the whole wet side apart and check if the plastic pieces haven't been chipped up. There's also a tiny plastic washer in there, and if it deteriorates and brakes you'll have a lot more friction when the magnet spins. I would suggest you pull up the layout of the wet side in the manual and take it apart to make sure everything is still in good shape and in place.

Jimbo662 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Yeah, just let me know. I'm also near Ikea. +1 on what Gig'em said. If the previous owner took it apart the bushing or washer may have fallen off and he didn't notice it. That happened to me on an MP40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightinghippo Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 On mp60 I don't see nut on the propeller. Only for mp40 did I see it. But I will see if there is anything else missing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliff Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 That's exactly what I was going to suggest. Vinegar water over night. It will be easy to spray clean in the morning. If that doesn't work, replacement impellers are not that expensive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo662 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hmmm...just watched a video on how to disassemble the MP60...very different from a 40. Can you take it apart and take some pics of the parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightinghippo Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Sure I can. I checked it looks like all the parts r there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightinghippo Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 If any one had a mp60 I was going to ask them to use my dry side with their wet side and the other way to isolate which one is the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo662 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hmmm...nothing looks out of the ordinary and looks identical to the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightinghippo Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 I am picking up another mp60 this weekend. Hopefully I can run the test with that. Will keep you updated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
