My local repair guy said I need a new vacuum switch. I did some research myself and some testing after reading a bunch on here and I dont think the vacuum switch is bad. Hose connected, auger doesnt work. Hose disconnected, auger works. there is a constant bit of air coming from where I disconnect the hose from and obviously adding pressure to the switch and therefore not feeding. you can hear the vacuum switch click when you take the hose off though. Any help would be great Thanks in advance.

Sounds to me like you need a new vacuum switch, but what do I know?
