Reply To: 1702 Fuel Pump Not Working

[Steve Pugh]

I finally solved the non-working fuel pump problem. The saddle on the arm that pushes down the lever attached to the diaphragm was badly worn. The play in the arm before engaging the lever was about equal to the travel of the arm when moved by the pin in the engine. I brazed some material into the saddle and the dressed it with a file to add about .050 to the arm. This took up the slack and now the fuel pump works well. Thank you to all, especially Greg, for your help.
