[Vwdiesel] Injection pump talk --- ( for the pump gang )

[H . Hagar.]

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.
