In that case, it won't matter where you fix it, as long as it stays fixed. > Whan i suck on the pipe, it doesn't let air in , it just seems very > stiffly sprung, even when I push the link rod towards the bellows. That sounds completely normal, but when you suck on the can, the actuating rod should pull the breaker plate. You should see something like 1/8" of motion. > The plate is free and everything else is in very good shape, so the vac > can is the only questionmark. I'll play again tonight. I gather that this post is part of a conversation that I missed the beginning of. If this is an early distributor then some of my comments would change. If you need a new vac can I may have one. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
