[6pack] fuel pump-revisited

Ya, that's been documented on 6-PACK with pictures. Apparently nothing to keep the pin in on that re-pop, believe its an italian pump.

List, I proceeded to remove the fuel pump after work last night.  Used a
hemostat to crimp the fuel line below the filter.  (Received many tips on that
by the way)  Removed the fuel line to carb, bone dry.  Removed the line from
the tank, fuel present.  I took off the pump and found that the arm that fits
in the block and rides on the cam was not attached to the pump!  The pin that
holds the arm in the pump and spring had somehow worked their way loose.
Anyway, refit the pin and other needed parts, refit the pump and she runs like
a top again.  I never would have guessed that one.
