I should have gone into business turning screws instead of making this public.

Glad it worked for you. Please report any problems.

Has been working perfectly for me too in more than a year now.

I do believe though, that the original reason is, that the pump doesn't have the capacity it used to. But I also believe, that you can continue to do the trick until it can't close the doors anymore.
