Under the dust cover there is a rotary spring that keeps the pump lever in contact with the plunger rod. I can't remember how that spring goes back on. Can anyone help me with a picture or diagram showing that spring? Thanks in advance for any help | | | | | Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 7 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 7 | The short leg of the spring goes through the hole and the longer leg goes down and hooks around the round push rod. Kind of a up-side-down L. I took some pictures with my phone but you really cant see anything. I can try again if you need it. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2012 Posts: 25 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2012 Posts: 25 | Ok - which hole are you talking about. The hole on the lever or the hole on the pump rod. My pump rod is the rectangular one not a round one. A picture would be really great if possible. Thanks! | | | | | Joined: Jan 2012 Posts: 25 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2012 Posts: 25 | Just another thing. My spring has one end with a bent 90 degree end. The other end of the spring is straight. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 46 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 46 | I've got a photo and can post it tomorrow morning. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 46 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 46 | | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,321 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,321 | Doug, Check out this site.
