| [title] Fixing The Pump Plunger (Piston) | |
| - | [* black] The problem is that the plastic pump plunger/piston sticks in the cylinder. Use 120 grit sandpaper and EVENLY sand the circumference of the plunger head and the 2 ribs below it. Test. Repeat until there is better movement but NO loss of suction. When you are satisfied put a small amount of petrolium jelly around the head and ribs. |

| + | [* black] Photo 2 shows the plunger/piston sanded so it works nicely in the cylinder without taking off too much material - you do not want to take off too much. It doesn't need to be super pretty smooth but sanding too rough and uneven will not keep suction. Sand a little at a time and test it at each and every attempt. |
