[Vwdiesel] Flagstaff parts. ?.

[H.Hagar]

Was the fellow you knew named Roy?   (No   Dave Ateah.)

 He actually laughed out loud and said that 
I would "never be able to get it back together."  There are quite a few parts 
in there, but it's not as complex machine as what it is attached to.  

It is a tricky little devil -----lots of springs rollers gears cams pins --- so take one
of your pumps apart only. (the worst one).

NO need to take apart for a seal change.      On the cold start shaft are two
"O" rings --- get shaft and seal as an assembly ( dirt cheap).

The cold shaft seal is the most important one ---it will empty pump (at bottom)
and give starting problems. The pump will have to be primed for every start , if
leak is bad.

Here is a list of some of the "O" rings .   Fueling screw  one each.  Fuel Regulator
two each .  Cold start shaft  two each.   Throttle arm  one each.  Distributor
one each (biggie)     Top cover one each  (fits in groove in lid.)

Now I twigged on to you saying a "BLOCKED"  drain ?  ---that could make even a
brand new pump leak.      That is similar to blocking "Orifice" in outlet banjo.

Internal pump pressure should not be let go higher than say 150 psi.

I do not know for sure if fuel regulator will bypass enough fuel to keep
the pressure safe. But  next month I will know  (testing it on engine in front)

The only difficult seal to change is the sprocket shaft seal. If it is in there
real tight (like one of mine)  it is PIA PIA PIA and more. It can be done.

For instruction on how to change top lid seal without totally removing lid ,
stand - by (stay tuned )   pun intended.
