Noob here. I'm "restoring" a 1010 -- not a parade queen, just trying to plow snow off the lane.
It has a toasted hand-primer pump, and I'll have to finish destroying it just to get it off. Direct replacements are silly expensive.
I see lots of diesel hand-primer pumps for other applications. I'm thinking any kind of primer bulb with a check valve could work.
Has anyone fabbed-in an alternative, something like http://www.amazon.com/Mercedes-Diesel-Primer-upgraded-Button/dp/B0084NK42Y/ref=pd_sbs_auto_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0EK3RH833KZFC9M1ZQZW (I don't think this includes the check valve)?
