XP55, what does the pump look like?

Post by Kimura » Wed Mar 17, 2010 1:54 am

SO while sorting through the attack I found more SS parts...the reservoir to my non functioning XP 105, as well as the pump arm, handle, and end cap to one of the XP 55's. I now have enough parts to make it work I think, but I'm not sure if I'm missing something on the arm. I don't see how an O-ring would stay in place. It's just a small back end cap to keep the ring from falling off, but nothing to keep it from moving around along the pump shaft.

Does anyone have a photo or diagram of what the arm pump shaft should look like?

This internals page might help, although it doesn't really show the end of he pump.

The O ring might have been attatched with some glue so that it wouldn't slide around. So maybe you should superglue it in place. And don't forget to lubricate it afterwards.

I would definately glue the o ring on, but it is a matter of where to put it. You should check the pump for any signs of where an o ring once was, like glue marks, darker rings, and clean parts of the pump.
