    24v carter fuel pump overhaul - M220

    I have seen a few on ebay. There was an upgrade frame mounted pump from carter or ingersol or Facet. It is worth it .

    24v carter fuel pump overhaul - M220

    I think the original pump was 3-4 psi. I'm running 6-8 in the new pump. I added a regulator with a gauge just in care I had to turn it down. I have had no problems.

    24v carter fuel pump overhaul - M220

    This is really the best answer in my opinion. I struggled a long time until I gave in and got the Facet pump. The original pump was discontinued long ago. There was an upgraded pump kit adopted by the military. It looks much like the Facet pump and has similar specs. I believe the military...

    24v carter fuel pump overhaul - M220

    I rebuilt the pump and a few years later it went out again. I blame it on alcohol and water condensation in a part of the country with high humidity. Both pumps below have proven reliable in the configurations described. My replacement for the red truck is: Carter P4603HD Universal Rotary Vane...

    24v carter fuel pump overhaul - M220

    You can try Butch Atkins on the forum, but I think he may have sold me the last one????? Otherwise I see one on Ebay. Search "Carter P604s"

    24v carter fuel pump overhaul - M220

    As I was putting the assembly back together, I thought it wise to take it to the truck and test it before going further. It worked as expected. Easier to fix now that drain fuel and remove the tank again. It is best to test before assembling the 2 housings and stone filters. Assemble...

    24v carter fuel pump overhaul - M220

    Once you get that far put the bottom together. Align the impeller with the groove in the armature and gently tighten the screws. The impeller will rub on the housing at this time, but it should not bind. Keep checking the impeller is free by turning the impeller with an awl from above. You...

    24v carter fuel pump overhaul - M220

    Assembly turned out to be a stinker. Use a 1/2" wrench and remove the nut and threaded adjuster on top of the housing. This is what adjusts the endplay. I installed the new screen and tightened the electrical connection. I placed the armature inside the main body and assembled the top...

    24v carter fuel pump overhaul - M220

    Here is the good news. Both brushes were broken and one wire burned off. Armature was scored as well. Last pic is new brushes and rubber isolator/mounts. Notice the brushes do not interchange. That one with the D shape end is tough to keep in and install the threaded cap. Use something round...

    24v carter fuel pump overhaul - M220

    I must say, be careful if you decide to take the wire off the pump. The nut is secured with a set screw on the side and there are rubber isolators/seals inside and some tension. Just enough crap to make it hard to get threaded back on. Threads are VERY fine and easily cross threaded. Pull the...

    24v carter fuel pump overhaul - M220

    I decided to back out the screws that secure the rubber isolators. I found it best to take them all the way out. It is misleading because the isolators were loose. The screws were longer than I thought and just burried in the rubber like a set screw. Stick an awl in the rubber and pry it out...

    24v carter fuel pump overhaul - M220

    After disconnecting and taping the electricals, I pulled the whole assembly out of the fuel tank. Take the bolts out and pry it up with a prybar. It was kind of stubborn. You can see there is a rubber grommet at the bottom that holds the assembly secure. Mine took some effort to get broken...

    24v carter fuel pump overhaul - M220

    I thought I'd share a few pics of my overhaul of the carter 24v electric fuel pump. The pump just quit working. I picked up a couple kits from the friendly Butch Atkins. I was concerned because it had only the electrical parts. After pulling the pump apart, I see there is nothing else to wear...
