From: jim on 9 Aug 2010 03:12 30k a go. That is my next task though. I took the pump out and checked it, put it back, and it's working with less racket. It's the whizzing that it is making, it was so loud.... I am starting to think that me saying the racket cut out under boot was bs, my ears could have been deceiving me!
