vac pump

BAWB

I check the guage by alternately starting and stopping the engines per the SB. The "FLAG" popped, however, the guage still read 5.5. The shuttle valve is always a source of concern.

All hoses replaced two years ago. I know it is the pump. I was told that overhauls do not last... guess that may be the question. I rather doubt there are any new pumps or alternatives at this point.

Thanks for the suggestion. I am going ahead and change out the pump. I have been looking for a 2in standby AI but they are out of this world for price (BGG type). Mags and vac pumps should be relegated to museums.

Bob
