Leaking primer

[gfeher]

Vern, that's an odd-duck primer. If I were you, I'd replace it with a serviceable Kohler primer in good shape. You should be able to find one pretty easily for a reasonable price. The Kohler's are pretty much bullet-proof, reliable and the most common aircraft primer. I've sent you an email with some more info.

Here it is. The diaphragm is worn through. You can see the cut.

Vern,
I see that Texas Air Salvage has a Kohler primer with the right style and color knob on it. Unfortunately, they are asking too much -- $175 -- for it.

Thank you Gary. I have now coming from the aviation department of eBay. (thanks Gene)

Installed new O rings and a small amount of fuel lube, installed the new primer and I’m back in business.
Thanks everyone!
