    I had an over heating problem with a’49 ELTO Sportster. Garry recommended new rubber, and provided a link to buy it. I had already rebuilt (replaced) the brass cam that ran the pump, and the rubber "seemed good". I didn’t think I needed it, but was still overheating. The new rubber did the trick! The old rubber was not so much worn as stiff. The new rubber was softer, and did a MUCH better job pumping water.
