[Public-list] Sink Pump Priming

[George Dinwiddie]

I find that the gasket under the baseplate tends to shrink on the
flipper pumps.  I've used silicone goo (engine gasket goop) to fix 'em
before.

I replaced mine with a Fynspray this spring.  I've got used parts for the
flipper, if anyone wants them.
