I was trying to start my 72 today and it wasnt pumping fuel so I took it off and stood it upright and sprayed some throttlebody cleaner in the ports let it sit a few min and tried it again. it worked! creates pressure but it leeks on the side of it behind the wire connectors. Can this be rebuilt? Or is it time to get a new one?

I haven't been able to find an o-ring set to rebuild them but they must exist somewhere. Parts guys do sell rebuilts so there has to be rubber for them somewhere.
Easy to take apart and have a look see. Easy to reassemble as well (that's always the hard part for me!). Only gotcha is the rubber o-rings will expand and be impossible to put back in until they thoroughly dry out. |
