    IMG_4080.jpeg IMG_4078.jpeg IMG_4081.jpeg Working on my fairly recently acquired Enders Baby. I obtained a new seal for the pump tube based on the recommendation of another forum member. I am confused on exactly where it goes.
    It looks like it should go underneath the pump tube between to tube lip and the fount. See picture #1. However, when I took it apart there was no seal there but there was an old seal in the pump tube cap above it (which I have dug out as it was brittle). See picture #2.
    It makes sense that it would go where indicated in picture #1. Did the previous owner put seal in wrong place?

    @TSPORT

    The ring seal should be fitted on the tube and seated against the tube’s lip, as you have indicated in picture #1.

    Thanks, Tony. Interestingly, the diagram does not show the pump tube.
    Also, the link doesn’t open for me. Not sure if there is more there or not.

    @Pharael is 100% correct. A good practice is that every once in a while take the pump out and gently take the pump out of the tube just so they don't fuse together like that.

    Thanks all for the clarification. Looking forward to getting it running. Now I just need a seal for the fuel cap. I’m good on the other seals.

    You need to be a subscriber for that section of the site in the Reference Library.

    Cheers

    The gasket for a 3 piece Coleman fuel cap is a perfect fit. Old Coleman parts has them

    Just installed the seal. Yes indeed, the Coleman 3-piece cap seal fit perfectly. The only difference is that it’s a tad thinner. I was able to get the old one out with a pick in one piece (although it split) to compare.

    Successful fettle, first fire today! All of the seals/pips have been replaced. Original pump cup in good shape and re-used. Thanks to all for the input helping me get this stove up and running!
