[TR] Inquiring Minds Want to Know - Was TR Won't Start

[TERRY SMITH]

Easy enough to check.  Just remove the chamber and piston assembly and move them upon and down listening and feeling for any "catch" points.  If  you feel minor grinding, the assembly is not moving smoothly enough.

I removed the suction chambers and separated the piston/needle from the suction chamber. I used WD40 to wipe the sliding surfaces between the piston/needle and the suction chamber. It did not seem pitted but the surface definitely had rust impeding the movement. After a slight rub down and reassembly, it started right up, first turn of the key. Now, the “inquiring minds want to know” part, why would it start when one plug was removed?
