Fuel Pump Kit query

Post by Jason »

Howdy, Does any one know where to get a kit for a FB fuel pump / vacume type pump? Rare's don't seem to make them any more and I've had the local auto shop do a ring around as well. I've got an EK pump without the vacume as a back up to get me out of trouble but the wipers aren't really doing there thing properly. I have an EK electric wiper that I could put in if I get desperate but would rather keep the FB vacume if possible.
Cheers

Jason

Hi Jason,
just something you might want to keep an eye out on if your chasing remanufactured fuel & vacuum pump kits.
I had issues with valves in the vacuum pump causing the wipers to be really slow to no operation at all.

Thanks Craig for the advice, yeah the wipers are not really doing there thing at the moment. I've put a single pump on the old girl to get me out of trouble and just running the wipers off the manifold but will need to sort it out properly. I have a few spare dual pumps but the diaphrams are pretty shot, the valves may be ok. not sure how to test them properly though.

I'm currently up to my arm pits in house extensions so I can't actually get to the car in the shed at the moment due to packing boxes and furniture stacked up to the roof, but should have my shed back in action in a month or two. :roll: :thumbsdown:

I'd prefer to have a working dual fuel pump than go to an electric wiper motor, it might start to look EKish :lol:
Cheers

Jason

Jason theres a kit on EBAY;

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Holden-FE-FC ... 264wt_1312

I have 3 dual (all diaphragms and oil seals shot) and 1 single action (probably the same) will need to check actual wiper assembly and serviceability before comitting to $185 :roll:

Cheers Lex

Jason, don't use those kits listed above. They are the ones that I had trouble with re the valves in the vacuum pump.
