| As Phil suggestged I installed the primer pump. It works great
You can get the primer pump at Harbor Freight. ($4.95 on sale)
Be sure to pick up some hose clamps
The 3/8 line will fit inside the hose provided with the primer pump. It fits pretty snug so you do not have to use a hose connector. Thanks to Phil for the great idea.
The problem (2) is with the pump it self. It is dripping on the bottom around the triangle metal plate with three screws it is leaking around the screws. It drips when you use the sprayer and it leaks when the sprayer is off.I have lifted up the Orbit and and now the pump metal plate is upright and it stop driping. It seems to stop when the spray line runs out of water.
Question when looking at the pump the lettering on the side is upside down. I know this is dumb; but was the pump installed correctly?
OR is their a seal under the screws thay needs to be replaced or do I need a new pump.
By the way this problem existed before I installed the primer pump.
I have had a problem with this sprayer since I bought it new
I sure would like to use the sprayer.
thanks doug

The first thing I would have done is call Ricks staff this could have been fixed already.
It is probably the check valves behind the jets, I had this happen to me when it was new.. take them out clean them up, there could be debris in them, they could not have seated rite or got messed up in shipping.
If nothing is leaking from the pump it self chances are it is not the pump
