Good, thank you for that info! I'll probably run these parts until they go, I have ordered the grease for the fan and I'm looking into getting a service manual. So the connection for the emptors is the same through the Avalir then? That would mean I can get a sentria II/Avalir emptor for the...

I have not worked on any before this, but I will be keeping this machine. As for taking on work intensive projects, once this is done I have my SUV's valvetrain tapping noise to tackle. I have found a local listing ad for a Sentria for $75 (no attachments). If it's still there I can purchase...

I had previously ruled out the brushroll belt due to the fact that they share it (we only have one rug nozzle), and it only occurs on the unit with the G4 motor. I turned off the brushroll anyway just to see, and the noise still came back. It would seem that you have to run the vacuum for a...

Alright, here's the video - Apologies in advance for recording vertically, it slipped my mind and I didn't want to re-record it because I wanted to run the motor as little as possible to prevent damage. I will note that the sound was quieter this time and it faded out the end, before it was...

I've swapped the motors already, so once I put the G5 back together with the G4's motor in it tomorrow I will record the video.

The rug nozzle (this is actually a little amusing) was not found with the G4 in the shed, but on my grandfather's (now mine as well) G5 with the G5 colored bumper on it. The brushroll and belt seem to run fine, but I will check and test them by hand. For now, I will place the G5 motor in it...

I can take some when i get home in about 3-4 hours. Could it be the tech drive making that sound even though the machine is not moving? I will see if i can record a decent quality video when i take the pictures.

Hello! Alright, so recently I discovered my family's old kirby out in the shed, it's a 1993 G4 which sat out there for nearly a decade due to a cracked emptor. I know, it's a shame. Somehow everything went missing from it, it was just the rug nozzle and engine/fan case with severe aluminum...
