Redwarf Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 Fuel pump. No it isn't. It's broken. Replace it. Quote
ke70dave Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) the thing in the box is called your fuel pump! the leaking holes indicate that the diaphram inside the fuel pump has ruptured. they put those little holes there so that you know that the pump diaphram has ruptured. only option is to buy a new fuel pump. that thing in the box will come off with 2 x 12mm bolts into the block (maybe 10mm), pull of the fuel lines and remember where they go, and you put a complete new shiny silver thing on. a brand new fuel pump will cost around $100 or so i would think, you may be able to get a 2nd hand one from the wreckers, but i suggest a brand newy. edit: dagnamit, redwarf beat me to it. and he only used 9 words.

joshy123 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Posted March 23, 2011 Thanks guys , Could that be any reason why its not idling properly? or could that be the fuel and idlie screws ? Quote
ke70dave Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 could be, I'm sure its not helping the situation. i would be more concerned about the leaking fuel first! grab another fuel pump and see how it goes. Quote
joshy123 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Posted March 23, 2011 Hopefully getting one soon and starting from there, what should she idle at? Quote
ke70dave Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 if you have a tacho aim for 800-900ish. Quote
