'63 top pump

Steve it sounds like the same problem my 63 imp has. I did take my pump apart once to clean it up but that didn't seem to fix it then.

Do we have anyone on the list that has been inside a top pump?

I am working on one that hadn’t been moved in a number of years and was all gummed up. I have it running and pumping but it will not build pressure. With the top cylinders unhooked the motor will very slowly run them up and down. Pitch of the motor does not change when the cylinders reach the end of their travel. With the cylinders attached the pump runs but the top barely moves and will not lower on its own.

I’m looking for advice on what could be wrong with the pump or a source for a replacement pump that wont break the piggy bank right here at Christmas shopping time.
