8BA Fuel pump quandry

[Charlie ny]

mark,
Crank the motor over until the push rod is full up....take the pump with the stand attached and place it on the motor and carefully press down until the free play is taken up. At this point ideally there should be a .200 gap between the bottom of the stand and the pad that it bolts to on the intake. This .200 is the ideal pumping travel
of the pump. Let us know what you get then the saga might have to continue.
