[Mgs] fuel pump difficulties

[Clayton Kirkwood]

Hello all. My 62 mga 1622 fuel system is sick. I've mentioned it in previous
posts and have had some great replies. I broke the floats up and what a
surprise: white goo around the float pin and lifter. The water had lots of
water in it (when it was emptied out the garage floor had water on top of
gas). I pumped it for awhile and the pump coughed and spit and kicked out  a
murky mix. I did this for some time and the kicking and spurting continued,
so I finally looked at the pump. Hopefully attached. There is the diaphragm
on the bottom which has some water in it. I couldn't find the filter, which
on, apparently, the original pump was opposite the input/output. So, does
this pump have a filter.

 

I cleaned up the carb. White crap on the float pin, water in the bowl (it
appears to be an HS4), and just clearly polluted. It seems the pump is not
running properly. The seals on the bowl have broken down ( while being
separated).

 

Any ideas on the pump filter? Is it supposed to belch out, and be cloudy? I
drained the tank earlier, let it sit for days to air out, and put new fuel
in. I would think by now any water should be gone. 

 

TIA,

 

Clayton
