Leaking IP Pump

[Rabbit on Roids]

but pumps are soo easy to work on. they arent nearly as complex as i first thought. i was scared to death to work on one, but then one day i tore one open. they are pretty simple. you arent even gonna have to dig that far into yours to fix it. i tore mine down to a million pieces today to fix it. broke the shaft that goes into the actual pump.

i need to get the thing working and changing pumps was the easiest bet, and thats what 2 shops told me to do and play with the other pump after

Been there done that :roll: . For very little money I could've had a spare working pump but no dice.

the amount of work required to change the pump is probably more than to change the problem seal and even bushing.  you'll need to get the timing set to do it properly too.

go through Vince's timing guide and you'll get an idea of what you're getting into with a complete pump change.  :wink:

don't forget that a pump sitting for even just a few months can go south, although generally not the case if stored properly (full of fuel and all ports blocked off).
