VE pump carnage (pics inside)

Postby Crossy's son » Tue Nov 10, 2009 5:36 am

Well i had the old "bad" 93 pump up on the bench with "boostedve" and removed the throttle linkage assembly and found that the throttle shaft spun effortlessly 360* ... immediately i thought "the gov. spring broke".

Found this- Image

what we found was the area where the pin rides was SO warn out and thin that it wasn't doing its job anymore..theres no doubt in my mind that little peice of metal is as thing OR THINNER than an aluminum mountain dew can....

thought i'd share. LOOK AT THIS WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR PUMP TOP OFF!!!

I guess that makes sense, the PO said he was driving it and it just shut off and wouldn't restart.

More evidence of the need for fuel lubricity - or lack thereof.

Not really, that arm is supposed to be solid to the shaft. ;)

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.
