Hey all,
Well, the U.S. General Aluminum Floor Jack I got a number rof years ago from H.F. has stopped pumping. I've tried bleeding it by taking off the fill cap (no bleed valve on this one) and giving it short strokes to push out any air, then capping it off when full. This however, does not solve the problem. I'm using motorcycle fork oil for now, as it's what I have on my shelf. Symptoms: Jack will only pump at the bottom 1/4 of the stroke, and will not lift very high before stopping all together. Any suggestions? Am I bleeding it wrong? Is it done? Thanks! -Josh2 |
