Throttle shaft leaking

[cummins32]

My throttle shaft started leaking a few weeks ago, It quit for a while, but after I put my denny t fuel pin, in and it leaks like crazy lol. How hard is it to replace the gaskets.

I resealed the top of the pump, only having a faint idea of what I was doing, in an hour and a half. If you can install a 366 spring, you're good to go. DGK121 is the reseal kit you'd need. It's about $20

^X2. Take your time, there is a few little parts that like to grow legs and wander off. Pay close attention to how the throttle shaft is lined up, I used a paint pen on mine, worked pretty good. The top goes on a heck of a lot easier with the fuel screw backed out a lot, beats having to fanaggle it all back into place

Yes, this ^ too. If you bon't back the fuel screw out, you run a higher risk of breaking the arm it pushes on.

Ok Thanks guys, I ordered the kit last night, Do I need to take the pump off the truck ?

[cmann250]

Nope, if you just reseal the top

As long as you are sealing up just the top, no need to pull the pump.

Sweet, one more question lol, To index the throttle I, need to write down, where the marks are on mine and put them back in the same spot when I put it back together.

Digital cameras are a wonderful thing. Especially playing with carbs.

That is a good idea, if you can get the camera to focus that close as the marks can be a bit hard to see to begin with. I used a white paint pen, and then wiped the excess paint off when it was wet as to leave a little paint in the marks that are in the throttle shaft and the bracket.
