No Fuel Pin?

[cedardiesel]

Can I run my truck without the Fuel Pin is it going to hurt the pump at all

If you are talking about the fuel cone, no you cannot, the pin that rides on the cone will come out to far an leak. If you are talking about the pin that rides on the cone, no you cannot, it will leak fuel into the diaphragm area and spill out the breather hole. If you are after more fuel anytime you want it remove the AFC lever, this will disable your AFC completely and your fuel will no longer be regulated by available boost.

Alright Thanks so how do I disable the AFC lever

Here is a link to another site with VE rebuild information: http://www.dieseltruckresource.com/dev/showthread.php?t=200901 Go to post #53 it shows you how to remove the BBs' from each side and remove the axle and the AFC lever. Once you have it removed you reinstall the axle and BBs' minus the AFC lever.

If you remove your afc lever, I would replace the bb's with small set screw's. This way if you ever want to reinstall your afc lever you don't have to fight with those stupid bb's. That is what I did when I removed my afc lever. The bb's may come out easier for you but mine where a PITA.

If at all could ya'll post any pics on the lever and the BB ya'll are talking about

What's a set screw? Just a little bitty machine screw?

Do you tap the holes?

Yes Begle1, I bought some 1/2 x 1/4-20 allen head set screws from Ace and tapped the hole 1/4-20 and put locktite on them and no problems.

Cedardiesel, go to this http://www.dieseltruckresource.com/dev/ ... 901&page=2 that Tim Worline posted, the go to second page, then go to #53 post, you can see #53 on top right of a post above where there join date and location and the # of posts, it is by 1stgen545 on 7-8-08 at 5:03 PM it will show a pic of BB's and the lever removed. I used a brass punch just like he used in the pic and had them out in 5 minutes on my 91.5 and 30 on my 92.

I got the priviledge to pound the ball bearings out of another 20 year old VE pump today.

I broke TWO USA-made punches pounding the bearing out with a 3-pound sledge, so it took three punches and about 10 minutes of pounding to remove them.

I'm pressing them out next time. I don't know how, but they're getting pressed out.

I ran mine for a year w/o a cone. I took the seal off the cone and put a bolt and nut that fit the hole were the stud goes through to seal it. Just a lil too smokey for a work truck..

That is exactly why I put little set screws or whatever they are called in there. Somebody else gave me the idea, can't remember who, but it's real easy to tap the holes in the pump top.
