Installing a fuel pump
« on: May 10, 2015, 06:52:12 PM »
I was having a very hard time installing the fuel pump today.  Turned the engine to move the cam so the pump arm would go in, but no luck.  I then looked inside the mounting hole and saw that there is a small cylinder shaped sleeve that I was able to move back to put the pump in.  But it kept sliding down.  Assuming that the cylinder needs to be retracted I cut a long thin piece of sheet metal and used it as a retainer.  Pump slipped right in.  I pulled the thin metal strip out and it bolted up perfect.  Can I assume I did this correctly?  Paul
