DESCRIPTION:
Sometimes we pull equipment because of high vibration, it must be worn out right? So we fix it, then re-install it only to still have the same elevated vibration levels. Why does this happen? In this discussion, Marlin will look back at a unique problem that was encountered on a BB3 style pump with resonance issues after a repair. He will outline what the issue was, how it was diagnosed and some of the possible solutions that could have resolved the issue. This will hopefully provide a foundation for further discussions on why you may not always need to repair equipment just because its vibrating, and what steps might be necessary to properly diagnose “bad actors” before incurring large repair costs.
