[Vwdiesel] IP Pumps

[Finn Rod]

Me again...

So if I put a 1987 turbo pump onto an 1988 NA engine
what is likely to happen...

If it runs, is going to trash it or will I be able to
drive around for a few weeks...

The problem on the NA..

I've got an outboard bulb sucking on the return line
to prime the pump...
Turn it over, doesn't start and a 2" air "bubble"??
runs back up the fuel "in" line when it stops turning
over ... (I've also tried disconnecting from the
filter and using a can of diesel instead)
Is there a return valve in there that's getting
stuck??
Anyway, I havn't tried hitting it with a lump hammer
yet, but soon...
Pump was OK before I took it off but if I got a bit of
air in there it was a real.... to start... Happend a
couple of times, once ran out of fuel and gelling...
Needed a long tow in the end.

Any thoughts... Thanks..
