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?

in the three port there is a y connector into the third port - returning gas to the tank. In two port there return line just goes straight from the pressure regulator back to the tank. The extra 'return' on the 3 port pump seems to be designed to help bleed off air during priming and also seems to be an overpressure relief valve.
My experience isn't nearly as deep as the cap'n or Mike but I've not had any luck in putting a malfunctioning one back to rights. There are some generic aftermarkets that will work - here's a thread where it has been discussed. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=42882 |
