Hi Everybody

I am very technical, and able to repair many things, but this machine, I have some questions please.

The pump and motor are out of the machine.
I applied 110v to the motor and it runs. The pump turns over by hand.

I am missing the red plastic motor to pump connection piece and the clamp to connect them, where would I be able to get those?
Does incoming water supply get connected directly to the pump?
Does anybody have a parts list so I can see what else may be missing?
Can the pump lift from a water bottle under the counter?

Does the espresso use pump pressure of boiler pressure to make a shot and the pump only come on to keep tank full?

I am sure I will have more questions, but thanks

Ashley

Have you contacted Conti directly for any help...such as a schematic?

It may help if you post pics of the pump and motor. Not sure what the red thing you are talking about, but does the clamp look like this? http://www.sodaparts.com/products/soda- ... pump-clamp
