Well, this morning I went out and fired the Old Girl Up, It really cold prob about 2 or 3 out. It was running and I noticed Fuel leaking out where the pump head is attached.After it ran for a while it stopped leaking. When I got to work this morning I noticed that it did it last night too, nice little stain on the blacktop. It was really cold and I didn't go into it any farther. What do you all think, is the seals in the pump starting to get worn out, and time for a rebuild?

 

Yeah, sounds like its time for a reseal. How old/miles are on the pump?

 

I would have to say that there is over 300,000

 

The o-ring is probably lazy and can't keep up with the different expansion rates of the aluminum housing and the steel pump head.

 

How long do you think I can limp along with it?

 

Prolly till it ignites and burns the motor up.

 

LOL, whats gonna make it ignite?? Especially since it leaks on the fuel side of the engine.

12V, have you confirmed where its leaking? Not a delivery valve holder or shutdown solenoid or out the afc vent/nipple?

 

not yet Bill, I was really Cold out this morning and I am at work now. Maybe I will try to take a look at it Tomm or something. Like I said It stopped leaking after it ran for a couple of Mins.

 

I Just went out and Fired it up again, and its not leaking now.

Bill what would make it come out of the vent Nipple?

I Just need to find a spare Motor!!!!!
Time to start my search!!!

 

I just couldn't resist being a smarta$$
