 Wed Jul 03, 13 12:20 pm kite pump lube |
 |
|
I have 4 kite pumps and they are all going bad. Does anyone have any tips on what type of lube to use? I have used wD40 which works well, but not for very long. I also used vasoline, but it is too thick. Anything helps.
Thanks

| I use a pencil that I have shaved the side off. Graphite is relatively clean and it doesn't break down the rubber gaskets like some oils.

Try 100% silicon lube spray. It won't attack the plastic or rubber.
