Check the amp rating of the GFCI. Most are only rated at 15 amps. TIG amps?

Hiball, it is 0.143" or 3.632 MM. Thank you for the info. Alton

Thanks Hiball I guess this one is still ok.

Sears 1 1/2 ton , model 328.12002. How snug should the plunger o-ring feel? Should it fit the plunger lightly or pretty tight? The plunger OD = 0.784". The o-ring ID = 0.792". Do I need to look for one a couple of thousandths smaller than the plunger OD? Is there a rule of thumb for this...

Hiball, it is an older Sears. ,model 328.12002, 1 1/2 ton floor jack.

Does anyone know how the fluid is supposed to flow in the overload valve? I removed the top screw and was expecting to see the bottom screw so I could screw it in and count the number of turns. All I saw was fluid filling the hole and what looked like a slolid piece of rubber or something...
