[TR] TR3 fuel pump woes

[TeriAnn J. Wakeman]

Did you ever have one of those days?

I removed the fuel pump on my TR3 to get out an olive that was stuck in 
the outlet. Put the pump back on the engine & the pump didn't pump. The 
pump  went on square and easily with no fit problems. Removed, replaced 
5 or 6 times still no pumping.

Priming leaver works fine, lever inside the engine works fine when the 
pump is removed, CAM on CAM shaft appears to be OK. The only thing I can 
think of is that the lever is going to the side of the CAM, but it looks 
square to the pump's mounting service. There are 2 springs that centre 
the inside lever, and one feels a little weaker than the other but the 
lever appears centered on the shaft.

I've R&Red pumps half a dozen times previously and never had this 
problem. Suggestions?

I'm looking at the Facet fuel pumps. One in the metal body, one in a 
black plastic body. I know the one in the black plastic body is really 
noisy. Any idea if the one in the metal body is any quieter? And yes I 
know about the rubber mounts.
