Default pump

hi Brenton

Sometimes , the push rod that pushes the diaphram arm is not long enough ... I've heard about this problem from Fraud V8 owners .... Take the pump off and watch the push rod come up as you turn the motor over .. is it high enough ? Just a suggestion.. I may be wrong .

Or, it may be a leaky or weak valve in the pump itself .

A 6 volt auto pulse is what you need ... it was fitted on Ford Blitz's in Hot climates
