Thatâ??s was my thought too as I ponder the simple mechanics of it all. In my
25 years with TRs, Iâ??ve never had that issue when changing a pump. I did
replace pump since previous one was part of original failure. It was a cheap
$39 one from moss. I didnâ??t buy it came installed on he car. It is a piece
of junk. I put on a spare new repro from TRF and works. Iâ??ll have to take
pump off and see if issue with priming lever.
Thanks
