I've dissembled my pump and wondering what the best way to clean the bits that are exposed to the outside world; main block and top. I've gone at it with brake cleaner and a wire brush whilst it almost does it, it still leaves a load of crap. I was thinking could I soak them in hot water maybe abit of soap, rinse, stick them in the oven on a low heat evaporate it all off then Dw-40 and brake cleaner for extra measure I want it shining

That's how I did mine, go for the softer brass coloured ones, used a bit of brake cleaner to soften the old veg off too lol

I've reassembled it but just thinking should the lever be pressed right up against the governor then require quite abit of pressure to press it back? As I remember it moved quite freely
Dw I've got it
