Fuel pump

Post by Colin Shaw »

Have a new fuel pump to fit to my 383 build thought the old one was seized (frozen) but both require a hell of a lot of
leaver pressure to operate.Im thinking it will wear out camshaft lobe prematurely. Working on British classics mechanical
fuel pumps can usually be tested with one hand.
Is it normal ? Go ahead and fit.

Yes they are hard to push the lever by hand, there is an allen plug just below the pump mounting take that out, let the pump pushrod slide out check that is not worn,,
