I am rebuilding my fuel pump after a very small leak in the diaphram. I can't see light through it but there are some cracks that have very thin fabric causing a little fuel to leak from the weep holes.
Here are my questions:
1. should I leave the arm pivot pin as is since I want to preserve the peened pin (no e-clip) visible in the first fuel pump photo ? There is minimal play. This photo is before cleaning. My kit (FPA-243) from Then and Now Automotive comes with a new pin and clips but I won't use them. This kit is 100% made by them in Weymouth, MA.
2. anyone have a way to clean up the casting better ? I have tried a degreaser and Evaporust and it looks better. Would a light blasting with 100-170 grit glass beads improve but not ruin the finish ? The other photos are after cleaning.
Thanks,
Mark
