Some folks have run a tube from the cut off valve on the IP inside the cab and suck on the end of the tube to shut down the OM617 while others use a syringe to create the needed suction so the amount of vaccum required is not much. Sounds like the diaphram is compromised in yours but you could use either of the above methods to trouble shoot or use your mighty vac if you have one.
