while tearing down the 1929 Engine, and getting ready for reassembly decided to tear down and rebuild the Fuel Pump, figure at least replace the diaphragm with a Ethanol Version. here is what it looked like before the rebuild when engine was removed: 1929 Fuel Pump

Good job!! I have found that a much easier and faster way of cleaning up the fuel pump housings and related parts can be accomplished when the parts are cleaned in a bead blaster. The parts come out looking just like new.

Thanks JY Dog
thought about blasting it, but was not sure it would cause more damage than good. considering the construction of the housings.

I used glass bead to blast mine and kept the gun about ten inches away for a soft cleaning.
Soda blast would be better, but I don't have the right equipment.

Are there any tricks to keep the glass bowls from dripping slow leak. I have tightened them as tight as I could. I put removesbke gasket sealer on one side. Have installed new gaskets twice.

You might try soaking the new gaskets (if paper or cork) in gas before installing to soften them up.

Remove the bowl and feel its edge for any imperfections. Do the same where it sits in the casting and look for stress cracks also. Use a new not NOS gasket too.

If your glass bowl is leaking then check for cracks or rough surface. Too great a leak will suck air and render the pump non-operational.
