If the fuel pump for one reason or another needs repair, you can dismantle it yourself. There is no hocus-pocus in this operation.
Before you start, be sure that the scribed line on the pump foot and the adaptor plate is consistent with each other. If they don't, make a mark yourself on the pump and adaptor, so you'll be able to replace the pump in the same position.
Disconnect the stop and throttle controls from the pump and remove the return springs. Remove the high and low pressure fuel pipes from the fuel pump and unscrew the three nuts holding the pump, and remove the pump.
When
replacing the fuel pump ensure that the master Spline on its quill shaft
will enter the female Spline within the vertical drive shaft. Position the
fuel pump so that the scribed line on the fuel pump flange aligns with the
mark on the fuel pump adaptor plate. Secure the pump to the adaptor plate.
Refit the high and low pressure
pipes to the fuel pump.
Reconnect the throttle and stop
lever controls and attach the return springs.
Vent the fuel system of air.
The fuel pump is a very sensitive
piece of mechanism, and it is categorically advised not to perform any
operation on the item.
