Injector Pump Question

[Milcommoguy]

Not to step on toes... With pump in the truck place cover just forward of housing (about 1/2 inch). (reference front of truck)
Top cover will nest and drop down (with solenoid lever into the linkage. Note a preload - spring back to forward as one slips top cover to the rear (1/2 inch +/- ) Cover and housing flush mating with eye on the gasket in the grove. Locating screws to housing to align. That's the dance I do. Also , while in there... was the metering valve flipping freely?

Good chance I didn't read this correctly Great SIDE view as to the drop in fit up. Just did this two days ago. YMMV

Two steps forward, one back,... NOW do si do, CAMO

Not your exact setup but the solenoid lever is in the same place in reference to the tab.

This is the no fuel position, as you see if you slide the cover forward you are compressing the solenoid spring which is holding the linkage in the no fuel position.
If you slide the cover forward and do not feel spring tension it is not correct.

Great picture! That clarifies it nicely. Thank you.

Thanks to Jyg101's info, the metering valve is now moving freely. It was stuck, so was only seeing slight dampness while trying to bleed the injectors. The top of the pump was clean but the fuel was old and it sat about 2 months without starting.
Thank you for the steps, its tough to be sure its being done correctly without seeing what's happening.

Hopefully within the next couple of days I'll get her buttoned up here and re-bled. I'll post back the results.
