On close analysis, I can see that all your parts are there, and appear to be hooked up properly. So something is gumming up the works, or something else is responsible for your problem.

I know that those diaphragms do fail. I forget exactly when that comes into play, but it should be able to hold vacuum for a couple minutes or so. If you have a hand vacuum pump, you can test it.

Hopefully you don't spend your whole day dealing with this (unless you really want to!)

Happy Thanksgiving!
