Yes, I did put the large check ball under the plunger.
Quote: Did you set the height of the plunger shaft underneath the flat cover on top that houses the metering rods. Most are 1/2" or 15/32".
Im not sure what measurement you are referring to here... is it the screw that holds the metering rod assembly in place? I just screwed it in till it stopped.
Thank you so much for the input! This thing is driving me crazy!
