packing blew

[JMooney]

I had a packing bust today on my AR RK 18.28. I'm proud of the pump though. 4-5 years of abuse and the oil is always clear and I've never had a single problem with it.

Its just one packing. I'm considering just buying one packing instead of the full kit. Its about 1/6th the cost. Anyone know where I can get one fairly quick? The part number is 840290 for the packing. The kit is #1887.

Everything looks new except for the one packing.

A single piece of packing must be special ordered from AR, and has to come in on a stock order. If you need quick, the whole kit must be ordered. Plus the fact, all the seals are the same age. If one wore out, the rest probably aren't far behind.
