the Pump Cover won't come off ...

anything else besides the 4 bolts that holds it down? i don't want to hit it with the BFH unless i realyy have to ...
Andy

Sometimes they do get stuck. I used to pry up on it with a small screwdriver.

well look what i found....
you think that might have been a problem?

note how the diaphrame is "stuck" ...
Andy

Try tapping (TAPPING) with a hammer, but prying isn't a good idea. Scoring the gasket surface is very bad, and breaking the cover would suck. Hopefully, some previous idiot didn't use silicone goop or whatever to seal it. There's supposed to be a thin gasket there doing all of the sealing, dry.

that's ugly andy. might as well buy 2 huh?

k

I had alot of problems with the accel pump diaphragm siezing and/or tearing ( on IDAs IDFs appear to use the same diaphragm) so I replaced them every year..

The 40IDAs needed a refreshing every year anyway.. something would booger up the idle circuits etc

Easily the most detailed pics Andy has EVER shot
