need ideas of whats wrong with pump.

[JustinRhodes]

Any other ideas anyone?

do you have any easy way of checking the case pressure? (access to a lathe?)

that could be a big indication of whats wrong

Uhm, what is the easiest/best way to check case pressure? What will i need access to a lathe for, but yes i do.

Fill me in on what your thinking, Id love to get this figured out before i swap it out

I figure to gut and tap your FSS to hook a gauge to.

What kind of numbers should the pump be pushing? Would an air pressure gauge be fine just to test it once?

Thanks.

How would one go about adjusting case pressure if its possible?

It's created by the vane pump and the restriction built into the return line. No way to adjust it AFAIK, it's just a way to tell if something's wrong.

Bad vane pump or something like that.

I have my old pump for parts if needed. The vane pump im going to guess is hard to get too, how hard would it be to replace the lever the fuel screw pushes on?

The vane pump is the last thing you take out when disassembling.

[Tacoclaw]

I'd pull the fulcrum out of that pump and put it in your old one.

figures. Any idears how hard it would be to take off the lever the fuel screw pushes against and change it?

[oldestof11]

Not hard. Just tedious.

I cant remember exactly what it looks like underneath the pump top but hopefully i can get it figured out

i see 90-150 in nortmal driving.

if you had any kind of inlet line restriction, you might notice weird pressures, i suspect you are getting just enough fuel to maintain idle, and not enough to keep pressure to the plunger at high rpm.

feel free to send me your shut down solinoid and I'll make you one on the lathe...
