I need to dig up that how-to and learn to rebuild these. And I need to learn how to purge the system in case I have some metal shavings somewhere that could be killing the pumps.


The huge metric O-ring set I bought at harbor freight a while back is coming in handy lately....
There's been some recent discussion on this at the site below. It provides the pump diagram and parts needed. Earl says he has the How-To document.

You need to add the tank O-Ring also listed in the thread.
