I just replaced the primer pump with the new version and was wondering if the new pump needs to be tightened? Do I need to push down on it and screw it down tight???

Or does it stay loose and ready to pump?? (sorry for the poor choice of words.... )

Thanks,

it stays as it is ready to pump, only the old style needed to be tightned down

Was it difficult to replace? Mine is seeping and when I hand pump, it more than just seeps. I want to replace this soon.
