Thank you. Already ordered. Saw them from $169.00 up to n$249.00. SOme had O rings, some not. I ordered from a place in NY for $174.00 so I can have it by Thursday. I hope this closes the chapter in this issue. Although I do think it will, as when this all started i was replacing the fallen off cover to the switch when I hit the switch rod and spring. This is when it seemed to all start. I have PLENTY of vacuum, and tried the shaving cream trick and saw no leaks in fittings and clamps. FUnny, now even with the double duck bills I have issues, so all pointing at the switch.

I received my switch and I see how it could be an issue with the diaphragm, that is probably leaking. Installing tonight. What do you think of using plumbers grease on the O ring that seals against the vacuum tank?

H.....it was original and the diaphragm was a rad distorted. I greased the O ring with some plumbers grease and replaced, careful to make sure thee wires were on the “B” side. SO far, 32 minutes now it has not cycled on. Let’s see how it does tonight! The SOUNDS OF SILEENCE!
