Available at any hardware store. _________________ CGKA Member ------- Kip Wylie arehn Since 24 Mar 2008 166 Posts Hood River, OR Stoked Tue Sep 16, 08 8:28 pm     all right thanks man i hope i can bring this pump back to life. haha wylieflyote Since 30 Jun 2006 1648 Posts Puget Sound & Wa.

Took it entirely apart, cleaned it inside and out with soapy warm water (amazed at all the sand in there) then re-assemble with lots of silicon spray. Like new. _________________ CGKA Member ------- Kip Wylie Sol-flyer Since 21 Mar 2006 1280 Posts Dude, where's my Bus?

You want something that doesn't cause sand or dust to stick to the post - dry graphite lubricant _________________ Go Deep! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eu2pBpQolKE Kraemer Since 24 Apr 2006 1736 Posts Sky Pilot Unicorn Captain Wed Sep 17, 08 10:35 am     Excellent advice Gmandiego! bustingbladder Since 12 Jul 2006 387 Posts Seattle Obsessed Wed Sep 17, 08 10:39 am     Air tool oil. Light weight oil and just a couple of drops will do it. If you are getting sand sticking to the pump stem then you have used way, way too much. Dry lube does not work as well Gman... holly Since 09 Jul 2006 440 Posts Hood River Obsessed Wed Sep 17, 08 3:01 pm     KY jahmbi Since 28 Jul 2005 622 Posts MORE HUMAN THAN HUMAN River Troll Wed Sep 17, 08 6:47 pm     holly wrote: KY I SAID SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE THE OTHER NITE BUT FIGURED IT WOULD GET DELETED SO HERE IT IS ASTRO GLIDE AND ALSO THE PROPER POSITIONING OF YOUR PUMP MIGHT NEED TO BE CONSIDERED TOP OR BOTTOM OR THE GOOD OLD STAND BY DOGGIE STYLE ..TROLL _________________ It's Never To Late To Realize What's Important In Your Life..        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
