Low suction

Report abuse

Have a Powr-Flite PF 18, suction is good at motor, but low at where hose comes out of top of vacuum. Could new lid seals help the problem? Where can I get new seals for this model. Also my zip is 98801 and my shop is not listed, could you add it please?

Replacing the motor cover solved the problem, it must have been warped and was letting suction out thru it.
