Ray,

They sound like the Safari (?) o rings that used to be available.  I got a set at the DC convention and I've never had any fail.  

Bob 


they were some kind of red or orange rubber

Thanks Bob and others,
I'm glad I got the replies in time to not have to do it twice more!  I'm
eaded out to my little shop to get it straightened out right now.  I'm
etting you are correct Bob, I never looked at the manual to refresh my
emory so I put it back the way it was.  If the previous fellow put them in
ackward, I put them in backward again.  The o-rings were not very old...
hey were some kind of red or orange rubber (not Viton brown) but they were
till supple and they had been leaking badly so it makes sense now that the
ob had been botched before and I followed suit.
I'll let you guys know what I find.
Ray R.
