    Tubs,
    My pits look like the photo that mumbles posted. They look to have a health appetite for the bottom of the pump plunger.

    Mumbles,
    So are you suggesting that the overall diameter of the eccentric can be reduced and the the pump will still operate as it should with the same stroke but the travel will start and end slightly lower (by the amount that was removed)

    Richard,
    I am not sure I follow your method 100%. Do you make a repair sleeve, or a whole new cam?

    In either case, how do you chuck the gear in a lathe so that it rotates around the center of the cam rather than the center of the shaft.
