fuel pump '55 cj5

is there anywhere that sells a fuel pump rebuild? i talked to napa, and they said i could only buy the pump. thanks josh

NAPA usually has the hard to find stuff, i bought my carb rebuild there!

 

I'm afraid the days of rebuilding fuel pumps is about over. You may be able to find a kit somewhere, I couldn't. Besides, a rebuilt pump is pretty cheap.

 

X2, just get a new pump altogether and faggeddabouddit!

PS I like it that you own an old Honda. 215K here goin' strong!

 

well its actually a big bore two-stroke, you should look at cr500riders.com there you can get an idea of what a real mans motorcycle looks like. and let me be the first to tell you, ITS A HANDFULL:twisted: :twisted:

 

i think thats kinda dumb, its sooo easy to rebuild one, might just be a profit thing...

BTW whats yall thoughts on a electric fuel pump? i really dont think its nessary, and thought it might override the needle and flood out. does anyone know, MAX G.P.H. or PSI the carb can take before it floods out? i really dont know what the carb requires. thanks josh

man im getting so close i can actually taste the raw-hydro-carbons

 

Motorcycle? :? I was talkin' about Honda cars.

Since I obviously have no idea what you're referring to, which Jeep engine are you referring to on your fuel pump??

 

I went with an electric in my 134F w/solex, just to break it in and I have not got around to changing it, the pump says 5-9lbs of pressure and it works fine, I understand the pressure required is around three pounds, it does not override the needle and seat no problems at all, thats why it has not been changed out yet, I guess you could use a fuel pressure regulator if needed but by the time you buy the pump and regulator you will spend twice what a mechanical will cost I did price a new mechanical at O'Rileys for 35 bucks and Im going to put it on when I get to it just to keep it semi original..........Vic

 

Josh was talking about his 91 Honda motorcycle he owns that is listed in his sig. He doesn't have a Honda car.
