Lunkenheim Primer

Anybody know where one can get a Lunkenheim primer repaired/overhauled?

If its a modern primer any A & P could do it. All he does is remove the plunger and replace the o-rings.

By modern I mean one the lock/unlocks and you pull it back to "charge" it and push it in to discharge the fuel into the engine.

Compared to a vintage one where you merely pull it back and leave go as it is spring loaded.

Modern ones usually are all aluminum and vintage ones have a black plastic knob/handle.

I probably should have said the problem is with the "leathers". Is there anyone out there that gets into this kind of work?

I went to an old fashion type hardware store and darned if he didn't have a small box of brand new old stock leather cup washers! Put them in and mine works great now.
