Swapping pump tops? Can it be done??

[vanbcguy]

I'd tap it out and use the hole for a pump internal pressure gauge!!

good stuff, i have another 1.9 so i could always try whippin the gov out of that to check which is which.

So all i need to do is remove the pin, and re assemble??

IS there any way of finding out the throttle lever orientation? or do i just have to keep trying??

Also, as this is an early pump as opposed to a late one, the eadjustment is in moving the pump, rather than moving the pulley, does this mean i need to swap the pump mount bracket also??

right then, got the dremmel out yesterday afternoon,a nd whilst covering the internals of the pump with plastic, as much as possible, i used the dremel to gently cut the pin off!!

Then tapped the pump, so that and metal that went inside willhopefullydrop out, then i used a magnet to try and removae a few more loose particles, if there were any.

Then i rinsed the inside of the pump out well over 10 times to the brim with fresh diesel. I tipped the diesel into a clear tub each time, and kept going until when the diesel was in the clear tub, after rinsing, it had no metal particles in it.

Anyway, its done now :-)




So all i gotta do now is rebuild the top end!!

How do i set the throttle arm to the correct position?? thats all thats holding me from finishing it and re fitting the pump :-)
