William A Thompson your part is on the way soon.
How did I become a Pump Fanatic ? the day I was quoted 5000 dollars Canadian
for a 1.6 L NA pump for my Rabbit 1982.
CAPILANO VW BC Canada ---stealership. So now I steal from them
using the 800 number. ----5000 ? I call that swinery.
We in the pump gang are gaining in power ---knowledge is POWER.
The VE type pump was invented in the USA as far as I remember by Chicago
Schrew company ----------- Stanadyne pumps ? BUT then the
BOSCH gang got hold of the idea ---and they made one hell of a lot better
pump IMHO.
I have both types here in front of me The stanadyne does have one very good
feature it splits the piston in two so the push is ballanced againt the inside of
a cam ring. No outside force. -- I will never learn the right way to
use thrust or trust ?
If you wonder who are some of the other pump gang members ? here are
some Loren,Gary Bangs,Doyt,Gavrik peterson,WilliamA Thompson,Hate wall,
James Hansen,Val Christian,Sandy Cameron,-----wow we are gaining.
Those who do the pumps for a living are not going to like us. (I am retired)
If you are a total newbie put the question to the pump gang. we may be
able to help you . A DIY can test a pump ---IMHO.
So Bart Wineland test your pump. For serious testing ? yes you do
need a dial indicator for testing stroke. ---Worn cam lobes or roller wear.
I offer no excuses for saying that my fun and accomplisment comes from
mastering (trying to) these great little pumps.
Give them lubrication and they last a long long time.
Rambling ? OK so have fun.
Hagar.
