To confirm and reiterate what I did…

Bent tabs from lock down washer.

Remove nut from fuel shut off “arm”

Remove “arm” from fuel shut off splined shaft

Rotate shaft so nipple was at 9o’clock position (when looking from “arm” side, or the 3o’clock position when looking directly at the nipple).

Push arm onto the splined shaft at the 6o’clock position

Reinstall lock down washer

Reinstall nut

Bend tabs to lock down nut

Reinstall assembly into truck


This is the video I referenced…

He explains this somewhat between the time of 11:45 and 12:25, and shows the orientation. Although he doesnt explain how they should be if taken apart, but you are able to see how it should be during that time of the video.

That's awesome! You have a running and driving truck!

Glad you got it going! These pumps definitely have their oddities!

I must say, your ordeal just goes to prove what ive said for years... Fixing old stuff is 50% undoing nature and time, 50% undoing the previous owner.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!

I knew you' d crack this one! Very happy for you @DaneGer21 !
Well, you know you have your fuel system set up 100% and you have a spare HH. Overall, not a bad outcome at all.

I'm just a HMMWV guy and I found myself following the entire thread like it was a custom made male orientated soap opera. I'm glad it did not end on a cliff hanger!

Enjoy driving the truck, you sure earned it.

Glad you figured it out because too much thinking was making my brain hurt.
So when you had the fuel control unit assembly out you disassembled it?
Yea the correct orientation is in the TM.

I never took that arm and shaft apart, definitely the previous owner, I will message him today. I meant I pulled out the fuel shut off so I could replace the small oring

Being we covered everything in the book that would have never crossed my mind that the fuel control unit assembly was put together wrong. Will have to add this one to the books. Well by now you should have a fuel system that is ready to rock and roll for a long time.
