S&S Super E Gas Leak
I have just joined this forum so hi to everyone!
So now to my problem, I have gas coming out of the bellows seal on the top of the throttle pump pushrod, I have changed out the diaphragm, spring, check *****, o rings and the float bowl gasket, but still I have the leak every time i use the throttle. As far as I am aware the diaphragm being faulty or wrongly installed is the only thing that can cause this, but before I drop the bowl and check the diaphragm I was wondering if anyone out there can confirm this, cheers.

Hi 98hotrodfatboy, we installed the pump assembly with the float bowl off the biket, the check ball went in: spring, check ball, O ring, pump cap, which is the right way. Just out of interest if we had put it in ball first and then the spring, is your thought that when gas was pumped it would have no-where to go and the pressure would force the gas past the diaphrgm and up the throttle tube housing? To be honest I think the diaphragm isn't properly seated, but just wanted confirmation that it could'nt be coming from anywhere else, cheers.
