DripCan,
Just a few questions?
Is the unit running hot?
Did you take a temperature reading?
Did you check the plunger for scratches, pitting or dents?
How do the seams look? Smooth? Rough?
When you pull out the old packing is it deformed or damaged?
Dale Frund from Texacone is a great resource. They also have a trouble-shooting and maintenance pgf you can download.
Give Dale a call and post how you made out...
