I attempted to start the '47 today after a long winter hibernation......noticed the sediment bowl on the fuel pump was dry? I put a little gas in the carburetor and it fired right up. The top of the fuel pump now appears to be seeping gasoline, which must indicate a hole in the diaphragm. The pump is dual action type.
What's the consensus on these fuel pumps, rebuild or replace?
That is a great question Andy as the difference in cost between a rebuild kit and a new reproduction pump is negligible. Why are the rebuild kits so expensive?
