I just installed the second new pump on my 912. At about 120 hr. run time, I noticed a small amount of gas at the vent hole on the bottom side of the diaphragm. Nothing to do except write a check fo ...

I have a model III with a 912, and have about 200 hours on it. I noticed that the blanket was getting a little discolored behind the exhaust, and it started getting brittle.

Lynn,

This is terrible news, so I'm sorry to be the one to tell you.
