5000 RainBird Rotor

I brought a 5000 Series RainBird Series Rotor thinking that this was the problem because all my other rotors in that zone worked. When I put the new rotor in place of the one that did'nt work, the new one did not work either. Any idea on what I should do now.

It's possible that the poly pipe is squished somewhere. You can remove the head, and use an extention nipple to check the water flow.

I figured that. The only downside of funny pipe, swing pipe etc. (for those of you installing a new system) you should flush the line before the hookup of the Funny Pipe, because of the small diameter. Just a TIp!
