Fuel Issues - No Start

[Jeepsinker]

You could have just bought a good used pump from a member here for around $300.

Looks rebuilt - or at least with some fancy paint!!! :/

 

[gimpyrobb]

Looks like the one I put on my truck when I did my head gaskets this past fall. Is it an LDS?

 

[7Dust]

I don't know. Hope it fits. Looked like the right one.

Couldn't wait on you anymore Gimpy. Needed a pump!

 

[7Dust]

I think its LDT. Mebbe. :/

Yes it looks rebuilt. Here's hoping it works good !

 

[gimpyrobb]

I understand, been busy trying to put all my crap away from haspin and my girlfriend just moved back from Pa. Looks like you got a good deal though.

PTO shaft has to come out.

Does the Steering have to be fussed with typically?

Will the IP lift out the top or drop somehow out the bottom? Which is easiest?

 

[welldigger]

No. The steering doesn't need to be messed with. I just lifted mine out through the top.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Yup, mine come out the top. If you have a heater, pull it out first.

 

[welldigger]

I didn't even pull my heater. But it would give you more room to work.

 

[7Dust]

Think I have nearly everything removed that needs to come out - out. EXCEPT for the IP.

Removed the gear from the front... forgot to mark its alignment so I'm sure I'll pay for that later.

My problem is the hub underneath the pulley? Looks like its press fit to the IP? Can't figure out how to get a puller on it. I haven't resorted to hammering yet.

 

[gimpyrobb]

The gear doesn't need marked, doesn't need pulled either, but we are past that now! Anyway, unbolt and pull it out.

Did you line up the disc in the advance unit window?

 

[7Dust]

There is a line on the wheel? in the little square window. The pointer is right on it.

I removed the three bolts holding the unit on but it won't budge. The new unit has a tapered shaft so I figured the hub was pressed on and keeping it from coming out.

Imma hammer on it just a little bit in that case?

 

[welldigger]

Did you remove the bolts from the back of the pump. And I believe there are more than 3 on the front. The pump should fall off when fully unbolted.

 

[7Dust]

Three bolts on the back. Out.

Not sure what holds it in the front.

I'm looking at the new pump and can't figure it out.

Three holes holding the back on and a threaded tapered shaft in the front.

 

[welldigger]

The shaft only goes into the drive gear.

 

[7Dust]

Its stuck.

Hammer time tomorrow I guess.

1. Hammered lightly on the old IP shaft. The pump moved just a hair and opened up a crack. It doesn't just fall out. Thats all it moves:

2. The new pump has a tapered shaft and holds the "hub" I cannot get pulled. I know you guys say the gear and hub don't have to come out - but the IP is taper fit into the hub? I'm not entirely sure this pump is identical. Everything seems very similar but the lower hole on the old IP is threaded and this one is not:

3. Put the bolts back in the hub and tried to pull it off by hand. I turned the IP a little but that shouldn't matter since the gear is removed and the engine itself didn't turn?

I didn't even feel comfortable taking the HH head off and now I'm in a world of ****.

 

[7Dust]

Had a Lone Star and went back to take a less pissed off look at the problem.

I can see one more fuel line connected. Maybe thats holding up progress but doesn't look like it. Will try again tomorrow.
