Hi,
My flip top table system was bought used and the previous owner had the above pump. I suddenly lost the ability to get vacuum in the system and I can't find a leak in the system. It would have to be a big leak.
I ran the pump continuously over night, took out a project put in another project, turned the pump back on it only got up to 7 in hg.
Basically it's not even getting close to a proper vacuum.
I let it sit over this weekend. Still no bueno. I have checked and re checked for leaks.
I can't find any documentation on this freaking pump. All I can do is put my thumb over the inlet and watch it pull a proper vacuum... I'm not sure if this is enough information to decide if it's not a problem.
I get a nagging feeling that the pump is leaking internally. I'm about to start taking it apart.. But I'm pretty sure I'll need new gaskets if I do...
Is there a manual for this thing? Something?
