I have a 2 gallon garden sprayer that pumps up. sometimes it runs out of air in the middle of rinsing but its easy to recharge with a two handle pump. I start with my head and buy the time I'm ...

I am a maker and a mechanic supreme. More than 50 y...

I think with out to much ado I can come up with a way that when I turn the handle bars all the way to one side it will automatically lock. since its doubt ful...
