b3arf1ght Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) Hey guys. Tuesday morning when I was about to leave for work my sev died whilst I was warming it up. It will turn over but won't fire. Got the RAA around last night to see if I could get a diagnosis, he told me that my fuel pump ha packed it in. Got a new pump from Bursons today, the pump itself is exactly the same as the one on the motor at the moment, except it doesn't have a return line. It has the hole where it should be but it doesn't lead to anywhere and the inside of it isn't threaded. But it came with the necessary return line fitting. Have I been given the wring pump?

you_nes Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Looks like it's the wrong pump. It's not wrong for a 4k-c in a ke 55 or earlier (no return line on aus delivered cars) but it is wrong for a 4k-c in a ke70 not sure how critical it is though as usually when you get a pump for an earlier model it is a ke70 item that you then just block the return line for.

Thanks mate. Looks like I might need to do a bit more research into blocking the return line I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Can you use the top off the old one on the new one? Never pulled one apart, might be easier than pissing around swapping it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it isn't a serviceable item, so it's a replace job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philbey Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 You should have no problem pulling it apart and replacing it, just swap the newer diaphragm across to it. I've done it on old Galant motors no problem. When they say it isn't serviceable, they probably just mean they don't make replacement parts for them on their onw.

I'm slightly worried about pulling something like that apart though. i had this problem with a fuel pump that was on an engine i bought. i just bought a brass bolt and put that in there and it works fine and doesnt piss out fuel Yeah, I thought about just running it without the return but I don't want to risk fuel spewing out everywhere.

Seventy Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Yeah like it says above, just pull them apart and swap the internals, just mark/ remember where everyhing goes. Once you take one apart you'll know how it goes. Or just return it and make sure the new one you get has the return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyricallyters Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Just stick a brass fuel bolt in there. It works and doesnt leak i did it to my car and it runs perfect. I wouldn't risk pulling it apart as it will break the seal and wouldn't trust it together again as it would leak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Just pull the old one apart and see how easy/hard it is. Its already poked so you can't really break it anymore than it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coln72 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Throw it away and fit up an electric pump ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
