Re: Reproduction Fuel Pump - 2lt cu engine

Yes the pump from JK is J2006 for CU engine. The part of the body that has cracked and been pushed out is behind the operating lever which the pushrod contacts, not at the flange to engine. Yes I did tighten each bolt a bit at a time. Thanks for replies.

Fuel in Oil

Does anyone know where I can get a repair kit for a mechanical petrol pump fitted to a 1981 2Lt air cooled CU engine. Also can anything else cause this type of problem (ie carbs) ?
