A beat up box arrived

Just don't head southwest on RT 22 into Johnstown in the rainy season....

Don't know if this applies to the TR6 pump, but it does to the TR3. The factory compression sleeves were a different design than modern ones, tapered on only one side instead of both sides. The result is that modern compression sleeves frequently will not seal, because the nut bottoms in the threads before compressing the sleeve far enough.

I solved my problem by machining a custom nut on the lathe, but Scott Suhring's solution looks more practical.

Fuel line compression sleeves are different than plumber's compression sleeves indeed. TRF (and others) have the correct sleeves. 5/16" inlet, 1/4" outlet I believe.

Interesting ! I checked "back when", but they must have found a source for the 1/4 sleeve since then.
However, I still don't see the 5/16 inlet sleeve listed on the web site. Do you have a part number ?

I just call Dave and he sends me a bunch in an envelope.

Paul's rebuilt pump arrived in the nick of time, it seems.

I was changing out one of my the fuel filters up near carbs
today. When I went to prime the pump and get some fuel into
the new filter, the primer lever broke upon the first squeeze.

Made in India pump, about 700 miles on it, 2nd time I used the
primer lever.

Golly,

And THAT'S why we hoard OEM bits. In almost ANY condition they're more likely to be rebuildable/dependable than the drek supplied as "new" from some backyard faux factory usin' third world techniques to make 'em.

Here's the security camera footage from outside Dale's house...
special delivery

Looks like a documentary.


Dale: Have to admit. Package looks very suspicious....not to mention
going INTO Puerto Rico. Right?
