Like the Rochester I did, I had to desolder the valve from the pump tube.
Desoldered valve assembly.
The valve stem pushes that ball off of a rubber gasket inside the valve body.
There’s a thin copper washer for sealing and as I have read, “timing” the assembly position...
Inlet valve removed.
Looks just like the Rochester part.
Seals are shot. This is partly due to some overzealous heating on my part.
Nut inside that captures the valve washer.
Nut removed.
Washer dug out…
I have some Kessler seal kits that came with my Rochester purchase. The pump cup looks very different so I’ll have to make/hack a new pump rod probably. So I’ll clean everything up and try and reseal it soon.
Very cool. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
ReplyDeleteWere you able to reassemble this to working order?
ReplyDeleteI wasn't, the valve has some damage that I needed to address and I just haven't had the time lately.
