i just put my stock pump back in and it has 30psi idle and 33psi on the gas. this will be the 3rd time apart now. I'll hit the dealer monday and get 2 blue o rings. what do you mean by slipped pickup tube. Has to be something dumb because the stock pump worked fine , a little slow on startup but worked. I only did this so i could put a duel roller chain on.

is there any gaskets or seals in the pump that can go bad or just teh pickup o ring
