[NSRCA-discussion] OS 140Rx pump question

Tue Sep 26 19:49:49 AKDT 2006

John,

Also -don't be frightened about pulling the pump apart. I've 'repaired'  quite a few by pulling them apart and removing half the runway out of them! Just beware of a few tiny little 'Geeeezzuz' parts. Do it carefully and you wont have any problems.

Tom
