Put the pump back on the engine & the pump didn't pump. The pump went on square and easily with no fit problems.

The only thing I can think of is that the lever is going to the side of the CAM, but it looks square to the pump's mounting service. There are 2 springs that centre the inside lever, and one feels a little weaker than the other but the lever appears centered on the shaft.</span></span></p><p><span size="+1" data-mce-style="font-size: xx-small;" style="font-size: xx-small;"><span face="Adobe Garamond" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Adobe Garamond';" style="font-family: 'Adobe Garamond';">I've R&Red pumps half a dozen times previously and never had this problem.

One in the metal body, one in a black plastic body. I know the one in the black plastic body is really noisy. Any idea if the one in the metal body is any quieter? And yes I know about the rubber mounts.</span></span></p><p><span size="+1" data-mce-style="font-size: xx-small;" style="font-size: xx-small;"><span face="Adobe Garamond" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Adobe Garamond';" style="font-family: 'Adobe Garamond';">TeriAnn</span></span></p><p><span size="+1" data-mce-style="font-size: xx-small;" style="font-size: xx-small;"><span face="Adobe Garamond" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Adobe Garamond';" style="font-family: 'Adobe Garamond';">Frustrated grumble<br> </span></span></p><div class="moz-signature">-- <br><p align="center"><a href="http://overlandtravel.us" rel="noreferrer" data-mce-href="http://overlandtravel.us">Book - The Essential Guide to Overland Travel in the United States and Canada</a> <br> 2 years to write and 38 years of travel and camping to learn what to write<br> <br> <b>Because the world beckons and life waits for no one</b></p></div><div class="_stretch"><span class="body-text-content"><br>** <a href="mailto:triumphs@autox.team.net" data-mce-href="mailto:triumphs@autox.team.net">triumphs@autox.team.net</a> **<br><br>Donate: <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" data-mce-href="http://www.team.net/donate.html">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/archive" data-mce-href="http://www.team.net/archive">http://www.team.net/archive</a><br>Forums: <a href="http://www.team.net/forums" data-mce-href="http://www.team.net/forums">http://www.team.net/forums</a><br>Unsubscribe/Manage: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/ryel@mac.com" data-mce-href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/ryel@mac.com">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/ryel@mac.com</a><br></span></div></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
