HELP! Stupid JV3 Question: Which PUMP Pulls Which COLOR?

I think I've crossed lines somewhere between the Disway and the Pumps.

I need to know the Proper Locations for the CMYK as they go into the Pumps.
Below is the way I have them set up, but it doesn't seem right.
When I do a "Fill Ink" it doesn't seem like the correct colors drain into the reservoir.

WHAT IS PROPER?
The way I have shown HERE, and in the photo?


M = Top Left C = Top Right
Y = Bottom Left K = Bottom Right

OR Should THIS be the Correct Assembly? :
M = Top Left K = Top Right
Y = Bottom Left C = Bottom Right

Or - something entirely different???

Hey there,

From memory I'm pretty certain that black/Magenta go on top and Cyan/yellow go on the bottom. Left/right doesn't matter as the there is only one pump motor per color pair so they can't be controlled individually anyway.

cheers,

It's always the simple things.
I must have switched them over some time ago without paying much attention.
No wonder the black never looked different after an ink load! :Oops:

Thanks Dave!

if you have a bad pump or that's on it's way out it won't do an ink load properly. I used to have to take the tube off the pump and prime by hand on occasion.

Thanks to all who responded.
The Consensus is Magenta and Black on top, Yellow and Cyan on Bottom Pumps.
Below, I have Posted the PROPER CMYK / Pump Order - Since I couldn't find it ANYWHERE else online :banghead:
Recap - EITHER Color can be Switched on each pump:
M&K or K&M on top - Y&C or C&Y on Bottom.

A SPECIAL Thanks to OnPointInkJet!
They've been VERY Helpful throughout this Ordeal.
(unlike a certain digi... supplier who evidently thought it was acceptable to "Next-Day Ship" critical parts - from BELGIUM!? WTF? )

This little CMYK Issue is peanuts, compared to the other stuff OnPointInkJet has been helping me through.
Great Supplier and Techs, and they've DEFINITELY Gone the Extra Mile... and they are -
STOCKED & LOCATED IN the USA!!! THANKS.
