A 3-gallon spotter has a modest airflow to begin with; a motor gasket that has\nhardened or been reused is a leak straight past the tank, and the operator experiences it as a machine\nthat has \"gone off\" without any obvious cause.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also a mounting cushion. The gasket isolates the motor from the plate, and a motor bolted down\nwithout a serviceable gasket transmits vibration into the housing — which is both noisier and harder on\nthe motor's own bearings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAlways replace it when the motor comes out\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the rule worth taking away. The gasket has taken a permanent set to the old joint under\nclamping load, and it will not seal the same joint twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you are replacing a motor, chasing a suction loss, or just cleaning the machine out, if the\nmotor comes off the plate the gasket is a consumable. It is inexpensive and having one on the shelf is\nthe difference between a job finished and a machine sitting in pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChasing suction loss on a spotter, in order\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe hose and hand tool\u003c\/strong\u003e — a blockage or a split cuff.
