repairing double action fuel pump

[Guest]

Have a 1953 Jeep Cj-3B with a dying fuel pump.<P>There used to be rebuilding kits for repairing double action fuel pumps. (combination fuel and vacuum pump)<P>Apparently one or both of the diaphrams in the fuel pump are bad. Can this be reasonably done by an amateur? or is it a job for a specialist? Or can it be repaired at all? <P>I seem to recall reading that it can be done but I forget where and how.<P>

Bart,<BR>Rebuilding a double action fule pump is not that hard. Find a rebuild kit and go for it. One thing that I found out is - make sure the pump parts are clean. The surfaces where the diaphram goes must be very clean with no knicks or burs and flat or you could have a leak. Been-there-done-that.<P>DBinger
