Pump discharge
« on: August 25, 2010, 12:56:51 PM »
So I got over zealous and opened my pump discharge hole by .004". Now its way to rich on pump shot even with the rod in the short stroke position. Any wayh to plug this and start again or am I up the creek??

I've reduced the openings a few times when this happens.

I made a steel punch with a rounded end that fits in thru the access hole.  Very gently tap the punch to shrink down the inner hole, then resize it as needed......Cliff
