Get a Mity Vac and get a reading on the level of vacuum and report back. Should be at least 18 inches of mercury depending on your altitude.

1 inch of mercury = 0.49109778 pounds per square inch
Ok I get it now.
At least 8.039 PSI

Inch of mercury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

inHg is it's own measurement.

I would think the pump is a diaphragm unit.

Picture shows a diaphragm pump. They are easy to rebuild. Common failure is a bad check valve which wouldn't require a new diaphragm.

I did take the check valve out and the was now air flow in our out I did get it to open but not close again. So I need a new check valve. But with the check valve in and stuck open my vacuum gauge jumped around from 15-20 psi.

Well, if you're getting psi, then something is seriously wrong

It is the piston pump by pics #2 & 5. The rebuild kit is a little more spendy if its not just a faulty check valve.
