Looks as if our fuel pump ain't pumping. I think the fuel pump is a "dual action" pump. I see a rebuild kit for a "single action" pump. Does anyone make a rebuild kit for a dual action pump? Can you buy a rebuilt pump from a vendor (I see where we can ship this one off to someone like Kaiser-Willys and they will rebuild it in 3-4 weeks-we'd rather not wait 3-4 weeks). Tks for any advice.

Mike, I have split these new technical questions from your old 51 M38 resto post so they will get more specific attention and to eliminate the confusion of mixed questions & answers in a single post. Try to always post your individual technical questions in individual posts. We have a board where you can keep a running post that reports the progress of your resto but the posting rules there explain that when individual technical issues arise they should be posted on this Technical Board. |

You need to replace the 6 check valves in the top section.The diaphgrams seldom go bad.Just had the same problem with my M38.Try midwest military. |

We shipped the old pump off to DeBella's. They will see if it is rebuildable and if so will sell us a rebuilt one, keeping this one to rebuild. The rebuild kit they had for it is not correct for our's. Tks. |
