I have a question for the experts here.
About 1yr ago I made a Woodcraft fountain pen for a co-workers husband. I don't remember which one. The guy I made it for has been using it for the whole year not a problem (he uses FP's a lot & knows how to take care of them in all respects)
Now what is happening is when he goes to fill it with ink it takes in some air so he makes sure the tip is inside of the ink then pushes the lever down to expel the air & when he lifts up the lever to take in the ink it keeps getting air???
My question is the pump any good I remember I used some red locktite on the parts so that they wouldn't loosen up. (I made some SL's that the parts came loose & was told to use locktite on them.)
Can this FP be salvaged???
Thanks
Chuck
