The bleeder DOES NOT take an Oring.. it takes a crush gasket.. Maybe we found something.??
I will have a look.I don't have a good answer for you. Going to try attaching the thread and you can tell more about his problem. May not be your problem at all but still easy to check. ym-165d no power - Yanmar Tractor Support Message Board
On my pump, the bleeder has a O- ring on it, maybe it needs a copper washer, I have some I do believe.I assumed when he said O-ring he was talking about the copper washer but IDK.. Even if it is a crush washer, they don't last long loosening and tightening it if that has been done several times.. Troubleshooting mine, I went through three of them..

Thanks for the help!
Man that makes sense, I ordered new gaskets for bleeds and they sent o-rings, witch I wasn’t happy about because I have a bunch ofAny IP breeder I have seen has a copper "crush washer" that's fairly soft.. Has to be a perfect fit, those washers have burnt me more than once..
With any luck that is why you are getting so much air into the IP..
I thought the same thing. But before posting I looked at Hoye's diagram for YM2000 and found what looks like a rubber o-ring at the bleeder screw so I didn't say anything.The bleeder DOES NOT take an Oring.. it takes a crush gasket.. Maybe we found something.??

I would expect a leak there to dribble instead of suck air, however. It's a simple gravity-feed environment.
