Repair:
Transfer pump failure is usually due to a
leaking diaphragm, valve or valve gasket, Figure 11. A
kit is available for replacement of these parts.
Because the extent of wear cannot be detected by the
eye, replace all parts in the kit. If the diaphragm is
broken, or leaks, check for diluted crankcase oil and
replace.
Occasionally, failure isdue to a broken orweak spring
or wear in the linkage. In this case, replace the worn
parts or install a new pump. Obtain replacement parts
other than the repair kit from an original equipment
parts distributor.
Assembly:
1.
When installing a new diaphragm, soak it in fuel
before assembling. Insert diaphragm spring and
soaked diaphragm into pump body.
2. Insert link and rocker arm into body and hook it
over diaphragm pull rod. Align rocker arm with
-rocker arm pin hole and drive in pin. The priming
