Hey c.w180,
Once you have removed item #13 screw from the case [there may be 2 of them..1 on each side] and slid the whole pump assy off the tank..[you may have to unhook the electrical also] you remove the screws from the housing and separate..then you will have access to the piston/pump/motor assy..4 screws on the top plate..[check item #104 tube seal for wear or breakage ] you may have a worn out piston/seal assy..a worn out or broken valve plate or just that darn tube seal letting air leak out while its try to pump up..
parts and breakdown avail at ereplacementparts.com..
[caution..this repair is not for the faint of heart..pregnant women..or left-handed people..]
hope this helps..?
