Make sure you don't have the brass disc on the diaphram on backwards. I have seen that.

As I recall, is'nt it the outer rim if the disc that makes contact, not the bump in the center? It' been a long time since I have looked at one of those.

R.J..... I installed the contact disk on the diaphram before shipping it. That part of the vacuum switch is as it should be. The case needs replacing.
