[AT] Off Topic Goulds piston pump

[Richard Strobel]

I think you're right Charlie.  I didn't get any pulsations from that port so 
figgered it was right.  I also tunnel visioned that the Schrader was used 
for blowing the pump out for winter.  If I were to recharge the Accumulator, 
I would have put the Schrader on top of the tank.  But anyway, neat stuff 
and always willing to learn.
   I did have it belted up to my 2hp Fairbanks-Morse "Salt block" engine and 
seemed to do just fine.

  Tomorrow I'll take a look at it and see what it takes to get to the rod. 
If I remember correctly, a few bolts and it will be out.  I'll keep this 
conversation in my inbox so I don't forget.

   Just remembered, I think I got my sucker leather washers from the man you 
mentioned earlier.

Lots of fun!!
Rick
