Mumbles, I thank you! Edwin is my grandson and also a Jr. member thanks to grandaddy’s gift of a membership. As a follow-up, Edwin sent me the link to your post and I ordered the cups. This past weekend the family was here for graduation and Edwin and I did the machine work and installed the cup. The cup did make a difference but not completely. As it turns out, there is an additional “cup’ that acts like a check valve, and we tried the installation of one of the new cups and now have a very good primer! My son in law texted me yesterday after they arrived home and said Edwin made a beeline to his little workshop, and this morning Edwin sent me a video, —-it is now running!
Everyone on this website responds kindly and I appreciate that. You never know who you are responding to, and in this case, it is a 14 year old youngster who has fallen in love with the hobby. The encouragement and help provided by the respondents boosts the ambition and gives us new ideas to try. I have a 1935 Sport Four that is a sweet runner, but if the primer doesn’t work, it is a bear to start. I now have a possible solution provided I can find the proper size cup.
