• I have this injection pump. It was resealed by some kid I know who had supervision of experienced people but I don't know how much they helped. I have been spinning it over with a drill and I only get fuel out of the bottom two nozzles on the back of the pump... Not the top two? Why?

• Did you push or pull fuel through the pump before turning it over or did you start dry?

• I filled it with fuel using an electric pump coming off the return line.

• Could those nozzles be clogged?

• I had that happen on a pump that I completely disassembled and reassembled.  With additional cranking it all sorted itself out.  Was the electric pump running the whole time you were spinning the pump?

• I don't think it was. I am going to put it back on the car and try just cranking it some more. Maybe she'll work her own kinks out.

• Fyi excessive cranking and this particular issue solved itself.
