Horrid shipping by Amazon. I got a box with loose pellets everywhere and this pump in an open box with zero tape.
Kind of related.I changed orings in my older chinese pump because it was retaining air after a pump. I didnt want to use my bag of replacement parts that came with this new pump so I went to my HF assorted metric oring set and they were all the wrong sizes (a little smallee cross section. I didn't replace all the orings as cycling 1/2 usually works prety good. They worked! I did retain one of the middle brass connectors that has two orings (connects to the smallest tube). If you put that original next to the solid end it works because it isnt pressurized until the up stroke (the other oring does not seal). Anyhow the orings that I replaced worked. I did leave some that looked like 1/16 or 3mm but they looked good and I'm cheap.

My pump was working fine filled a tank prob 6 times but I gave it a rest for a few weeks and today when I tried to pump it would not build pressure and the handle would get sucked down. My experience with benjy pumps would suggest the little piston rod seal is shot but that always happened gradually so I'm confused. Seems strange for it to go from functioning fine to this, is there anything else that might cause such behavior??
