Two stages means two fans working in series, and that is what produces 85 inches of water lift against only 6.5 amps of draw. For extraction work that lift figure is the number that matters, because pulling moisture back out of saturated carpet fibers is a pressure problem before it is an airflow problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheck your machine's build year before ordering.\u003c\/strong\u003e Tempo Spotters built in 2017 and newer were changed over to the A318 motor, and the C316 is not the correct part for those units.

CFM is airflow volume, how much air moves through per minute. They are different jobs. Dry vacuuming is mostly a CFM problem because you are carrying debris through the hose. Extraction is mostly a lift problem, because you are pulling water out of carpet fibers that are holding onto it. When you are comparing extractor motors, lift is the number to weigh first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this fit a 2017 or newer Tempo?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Mytee changed those units over to the A318 motor, so the C316 is the wrong part for anything built from 2017 forward. Check the serial plate on the machine, or read the part number directly off the motor you are removing, before you order. This is not a part you want to guess on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I get the C316 or the low-amp C302LA?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepends on what is limiting you. Take the C316 if you want maximum extraction and your power situation can handle it. Take the low-amp version if you keep tripping breakers, especially when running heat and vacuum together off a single household circuit in a residential or mobile setting. More lift is worthless if the machine cannot stay running.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy do vacuum motors fail?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree main ways. Carbon brushes wear down, which is normal consumption and gives you gradually weakening suction. Water gets into the motor, which is sudden and usually fatal, and it happens when a recovery tank overfills or a float shutoff stops working. And heat, from running with clogged filters or a restricted hose, which cooks the windings over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMy old motor died from water. What do I check before installing this one?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe float shutoff, first and without exception. That mechanism is the only thing standing between your recovery tank and the motor, and if it failed once it will fail again on the new motor. Verify the float moves freely and seats properly, check the filters, and make sure nothing in the recovery path is restricted. Installing a replacement motor without finding out why the last one drowned is how people buy the same part twice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mytee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52396105990440,"sku":"MY-C316","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/3589\/2776\/files\/mytee-c316-vacuum-motor-hero-image.jpg?v=1789746409","url":"https:\/\/snsautosupply.com\/products\/mytee-c316-vacuum-motor","provider":"SNS Auto Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
