I have 20's Clear vision pump I bought in pieces. I'm trying to figure out how the lever mechanism works. It has a lever that slides on one of the pipes inside. Anyone have any information on how it connects to the lever outside the pump? Also it has 2 small pipes, is one of them the conduit for the wires for the light on top? any help appreciated.

Dave, a picture would work great. The reason for this is that many people just refer to a visible pump as a clear vision, where as there actually was a company that is named clear vision. Makes a big difference. I am right across the river. Here is my email. c.architectural@comcast.net

Dave I can send you some pics of my Canadian clear visions if you like ??

Dave55, Here is the part that connects the rod in one of the brass filler pipes to the outside TO TANK - TO CAR switching mechanism. For the electrical it's the centre 1/2" rigid conduit. Hope that helps! Dave

I think I added a picture to this. The Pump is a Clear Vision made in Wichita Ks. Thanks to all that answered. Any information is helpful.

That would be great! I've attached a picture of the pieces I have. Seems like I'm missing a piece(s)?
Thanks.

Are there any other pictures that we should be looking for? If not, you might be missing more than "a" piece? Looks like a jar base in cast iron and a few random pipes? No top, cylinder, base, pump, crank etc. Even the air operated Clear Vision had more supports than this? Paul www.severngaspumps.com

I have the base, pump, crank, top cylinder and I believe all the pipes. My question is how the lever works and if I have all the pieces for that.
Thank.
Dave
