when i prime the pump it leakes from the bottom of the white plactic 90 degree white connector.....and i think it kinda messes with the running as well.....is this a easy fix? or maybe a shop in calgary can fix it if someone knows someone?

tnx

Happyfisher,

I have an older Jiffy Model 30. Obviously, I cannot see what your leak is from. It could be the hose, it could be the plastic 90 connector, ...

If you are handy and have some JB Quick and can clean the connector and bottom plate of oil, you could put a little JB around the base on the plate where the connector goes through.

Be careful on tightening the metal plate down. Your gasket is likely dried out and can crack, forcing you to put a kit into it simply for that gasket.

Nice repair!

I have been using JB Quick for all sorts of fixes. Keep some in the tool box when on road trips. Amazing stuff.
