Generally if the handle tension assembly is broken on powering up the Kirby the handle tends to fling backwards as there's no spring tension, If this happens check the locking slot of the handle assembly has not broken off (blue arrow on photo) it could also be that the spring itself inside has...

In my opinion the heritage/legend series machines are the best Kirby models produced they were simple, rugged, with great performance. I think the Generation series (Avilar) machines are less manoeuvrable than the older machines but the latest Avilar is a fantastic machine. like all Kirby's it's...

Yeah that's pretty much the same way I used to do it before I purchased the tool, he does though make it look very easy in that video by only adding a small amount of tension on it, Also I've found by anchoring the motor shell helps too so it's not moving about whilst you do this, I usually just...

Scudo, Excellent purchase and it's looking fantastic so far on the restoration work, As for the Handle Spring Yoke you're probably going have to purchase a new yoke, I've had plenty of these break in the past and I've tried to bodge them up myself but they always fail soon after with it being...

Blimey not seen Mr Mom in about 30 year's I remember watching it as a little boy and for a time afterwards giving me nightmares, we had a similar looking Heritage Kirby I used to think it was going to have a mind of it's own, chase me around the house and suck me up just like the one in Mr Mom...

I have done it exactly the same way Mat many times and I've had no problems what so ever, If you ever need to replace it again in the future, any decent pair of mole grips should loosen of the belt shaft if your bending the nail.

It most probably was bad luck I have started using my Girlfriends Miele cylinder vac for the car and other areas where there's the possibility of large foreign objects, I agree with you on replacing the fan being a easy chore to do, in fact If I had to replace a fan at all I'd rather it be on a...

It's a while since I posted photo's of my updated collection on here so I thought I would add some of my Kirby's that I may have talked about. *Firstly my Kirby Sentria with it's tools not a huge fan of this compared to older models I have. *Secondly my Kirby black Diamond imported from...

I read somewhere or about a salesman that used a coin as a fan/pickup test on Demo's I was amazed after reading this because once the fan on my Sentria got destroyed after accidentally hoovering up a coin, Obviously I try to avoid any large heavy objects going up any Kirby that I have so when...

Ben, I had another lexan fan go in a similar way, In fact it wasn't so long ago, This was in Hose configuration and I wasn't even actually using it when it broke. I had left it running (hose draped over bag topper) whilst I moved some furniture around and whilst doing it I heard that horrible...

Some early Heritage 2 models were produced with the Extended-larger Heritage 1 nozzle So I don't think that would be the cause of the noise, Like Ben said try replacing the rug plate gasket, also look to see if the two locking lugs for the rug plate are tight and that there is no movement in the...

All ready to go, I'm Really impressed with flitz polish does a great job. I used the Kirby not long afterwards and its a great machine it's quieter than my other Legend two and seems to pick up a lot better so this will be my daily driver from now on.

added a new handle spring the spring winding tool makes this job so much easier :)

reassembled also with silicone sealant around the join.

The front housing replaced and fan cleaned up.

underneath the brush roll in pretty good shape.
