Mark P Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Since I don't know what it is I did not know what forum to use.... Anyway not a big deal, but am just wondering if anyone can tell me what this is. It was on the front, next to garage, of a solid brick home built in 1958. The on/off toggle was stuck, I tried to remove the 4 screws to have a peak inside, but the screws did not cooperate.

Scottpat Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 It's an On/Off switch! [] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelB Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Scott, It's not an on/off switch, it's the choke. There should have been a 'start' button next to it, or if it's a really old house, a hand crank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Kids! It is from the old days when everything was a plunger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erby Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 It's a float switch. When the water pushes that metal thingymadoo up, it turns the pump on. When the water no longer holds up the metal thingymadoo, it drops, shutting off the pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
