I haven't had to work on the secondary since (except the pump)
Out of curiosity I just went out and turned the key on. The pump rand 6-7 seconds then nothing. (waited 2min to see if it'd leak down).
Well, Scott... Obviously, your damn pump broke again!! Time to realize the benefits of "going camando" where secondaries are concerned, and get rid of the troublesome things!! (Course you'll have to live with instantaneous throttle response, and clean secondary valves...)
