all the gaskets is what you want to look at

the one under the metal plate on top can bought from here and replaced with a brass fitting. he is also very helpful for state side support

I have just done the drawing for the HFS1/5 125psi Shurflo pump assembly
parts list for rebuild. The list at the bottom is available from Jeff Howerton.

trust me fixing it w/ RTV is a lot cheaper and worth the try....and if that fails get a new pump.


part #3 on the diagram can be replaced with a brass fitting from howerton (the factory plastic fitting leaks a lot.

i will get a pic of my pump tomorrow to show you where i put the RTV.

a new pump is like $200...RTV is like $5. just make sure it cures for 24hrs. and I already did some research on RTV and meth. and it is not corrosive.

Howerton has a metal compression conversion kit specially for the HFS-5 (HE102), see link below.

ideally where should the SC be set to?.. as in default i know its user preference.. but want to know if maybe mines was off to low WL to begin with because if i turn my SC almost all the way clock wise the bars go 100% and the yellow LED goes away wheni turn it almost to the 10oclock position??.. anyone chime in please im also running just water to test.. had it running for like 10 minutes just to clear any previous alcohol just incase it was contaminated
