I really hope these pumps work out. It's between one of these new mega VP's and a Ppump at this point.

I am going to tear back into it tomorrow and see what the problem is.

alright none of the nozzles looked cracked or damaged, I did find that one of the boots had a small cut in it (about 1/2").

I dont think it is the pump, I put the SO pump back on and it runs like crap.

It never stops smoking, and sounds like it is missing real bad, in the smoke there is black flakes, any ideas?

The keyway on the the pump gear was messed up from who ever put the SO pump on, the key on pump was smashed on one side. I did not even think to check the gear when I pulled the SO pump, I just wipe them clean and put the dragon on.

I got a new key and gear and started it yesterday, drove it some more today and it seems like it is fine. The rattle is gone and running strong
