FUEL SYSTEM - N.46.Remove the valves from the upper body half bycarefully levering from their locations. Removethe valve gaskets from the bottom of therecesses.7.Remove the pump cover and pulsatordiaphragm by unscrewing and removing thecover retaining screw.Inspection of Parts1.Thoroughly wash all parts in cleaning fluid.2.Check the diaphragm for hardening or crackingand examine the pull rod for wear at the pointwhere it connects with the rocker lever link.Renew the diaphragm and pull rod assembly ifany of these signs are evident.3.The diaphragm spring should be renewed if it iscorroded or distorted. Ensure that if renewingthe spring, the new spring has the same (green)colour identification.4.The valves should be renewed unless in perfectcondition. The two valves are identical and maybe used for inlet or outlet (See Fig. N.5). It isadvisable to renew the valve gaskets afterdismantling.5.Examine the rocker, arm, link, spring and pin forwear. If appreciable wear is evident new partsmust be fitted.6.Check the pulsator diaphragm for condition andrenew if necessary.7.Replace all gaskets and washers as routineprocedure.8.Examine the flanges of the two pump halves fordistortion. If distorted lightly linish to restoreflatness.To Re-Assemble the Pump1.Place the new valve gaskets in position in thevalve recesses and fit the valves to the body.The inlet valve must be fitted so that the valvecan open to admit fuel, i.e., the spring mustprotrude into pump chamber towards thediaphragm. The outlet valve must be fitted inthe reverse position to the inlet valve, so that itallows flow of fuel out of the pump. To retain thevalves in the casting, replace retaining plate orstake the casing in six places with a suitablepunch.2.Place the pulsator diaphragm in the pulsatorcover and secure on the upper casting with thewasher and screw.3.Insert the rocker arm pin through its hole in thebody, at the same time engaging the link and therocker arm. During this operation ensure thatthe rocker arm spring is located properly in thepump body. Tap the rocker arm pin in until it isflush with the pump body. Stake the casting inthree places each side to retain the pin.4.Place the diaphragm spring in position in thepump body.5.Place the diaphragm assembly over the spring,the pull rod being downwards, and centre theupper end of the spring in the lower diaphragmprotector washer.6.Press downward on the diaphragm and makesure that the downward tag on the lowerdiaphragm protecting washer is on the priminglever side of the body. This tag is required to bein the hole of the body ready for fitment of thepriming lever. Engage the diaphragm pull rodwith the link and at the same time permit thematching up of the holes in the diaphragm withthose on the pump body flanges.7.Push the rocker arm towards the pump until thediaphragm is level with the body flange. Placethe upper half of the pump into its properposition as shown by the file mark on the flangesmade prior to dismantling. Install the coverscrews and washers and tighten only until theheads of the screws just engage the washer.Release the rocker arm and push on the spadedend of the rod so as to hold the diaphragm at thetop of the stroke, and while so held tighten thesecuring screws diagonally and squarely.NOTE: After assembling in the mannerdescribed, the edges of the diaphragmshould be about flush with its two clampingflanges. Any appreciable protrusion of thediaphragm indicates incorrect fitting inwhich case especial care should be paid tomaintaining pressure on the pull rod whilethe diaphragm screws are finally tightened.8.Fit primer to side of body and retain with the pin.Clip on priming lever spring.9.Test the fuel lift pump to ensure that it is workingcorrectly.
