If it doesn't run, then sometimes they can be made to run if you tap the side of the motor repeatedly while it is powered up. This may eventually work around the dirt & corrosion that has collected under the brushes. Do this with fluid in the pump. If it runs but doesn't build pressure, sometimes the overpressure valve is stuck open. I have been known to just seal off that third outlet to get around that problem. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
