M38A1 Fuel Pump

[rick25]

So, I opened up the fuel side of the pump and moved the 3 rubber inlet valves with the flat end of a ball point pen and they did in fact appear to be stuck.

Not knowing how to disassemble the rest of the pump, I removed the metal valve retainer for the outlet side and *very carefully* coaxed those valves open with the round tip of the ball point pen.

I then re-installed the pump and had fuel pressure almost right away!

Now I just need to fix my vacuum leaks and figure out how to adjust the carb.

Thanks Rob!
