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?

Ok I took it apart today and all 3 seals were completely dried up and crusty. Upon attempted removal of the connector from the end cap that holds the armature the neg. wire broke off in the connector... We have had a little experience with electric motors at work (28vdc) and decided it wasnt worth the headache to try and fix the connector. So I will be UPGRADING to a 2 port electric pump and relocating it to the front. Anyone wana buy a completely disassembled fuel pump off a 72? I know I know sorry about no pics I left it at work.
Anyone got a part# for a 2 port fuel pump to replace the original with? |
