[6pack] fuel pump-revisited

[Sally or Dick Taylor]

Jim---If this is like the aftermarket pump I saw many years ago, the lever pin/pump body needs to be staked on both ends. Otherwise the pin will work its way back out again.

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.
