Fuel Injection Pump

[MikeSimon]

I have a couple of fuel injection pumps I would like to sell. Before I offer them, what can I do short of a complete bench performance test, to make sure, they are in decent condition?

I would install them on my own car, see how they do? Bit of work but not too bad. You probably get very quick at after the second or third one. In fact I may 'try this at home' with my own 10+ pumps one day.

P.s. yesterday I had to double-check the new timing belt install on my '86 300ZX as it was not running right after I did the initial job on Saturday (turned out to be two spark plug wires had quietly halfway unseated from the distributor cap, duh). The original installation took me easily 7 or 8 hours, as it was the first time for me installing a new timing belt + tensioner. Lots of staring into the engine bay, thinking. Yesterday it took maybe three hours. I remembered the sequence of steps, which tools to use for what, even down to all the bolt sizes.

Verify the rack is free and then I usually put a 17mm socket on a drill, lay the pump inlet side up, pour transmission fluid into the pump and run it with the drill.  By moving the throttle you should be able to verify flow increase or decrease.  Not much can go wrong except a piston can stick which means the rack won't move.  That can usually be fixed fairly easily.

Thanks Pat! That seems an easy way to check the basics. Pumps are R24s and R25s

Hi Mike

Sounds interesting, especially the R25s!

Please let me know what you have and what your prices are, after you have testes them.

Thanx,
