Hi Larry,
Don't Touch The Pump! You'll never get it right again. The instruction say not to touch it. Did you lean the bottom end?

I have one of these and will see you at Quincy. Not really sure what the problem is but the people in the know say never touch the pump. If you need help, Verne Kesster will be there along with Dennis Bodary. These guys are really experienced with this motor and wll be glad to help. I can be reached tonight at work at 1-800-1856-1856EX8096. Call if you like.
RC11 Rick Cilles See you at Quincy in what class?
