I feel like we have been to the moon and back with this thread. Glad you found the pronblem! Any idea why the reeds went bad? I'd hate to see it happen again.
The old design of the reed stop is a back-up plate with a rounded edge, the new style is a shorter nylon reed on top of Stainless reed that spreads the bend over a longer area instead of a very localized spot.
Augie: Hopefully you don't have any issues, your pump is different design if I remember correctly, but you know where mine came from. :-))
