Re: [doc] Re: plunger in fuel distributer

[DANIEL SHANE <daniel.shane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Adding onto Mikes words, each metering head and
plunger are matched, you cant take a plunger from one
head and put it in the other.  These things are
precision made.

Try soaking it in acetone as it should not be
sticking.  If that fails you may need to get it
rebuilt.

At rest the 'plunger'is weighted should move freely
downwards by 
gravity, the 'arm' on the metering flap moves this
plunger up, if yours 
is sticking then this needs to be resolved, it will
effect your running 
if it is sticking in certain positions.

On cleaning this up be careful not to score the
surface of the plunger 
it is a very delicately machined thing.I've heard
people use acetone to 
clean it up. Make sure the little o ring is in place
on the underside 
of the distributer where it bolts back on to the top
of the metering 
head. 

A fuel pressure tester is a good investment when you
have fuel issues.
