[FC] fuel pumps

[N2VZD at aol.com]

when installing a new fuel pump i always put it in a vise (carefully)  loosen 
the screws and and hold the plunger full in   then retighten them with 
diaphragm tight(post up as far as it goes). i have not had failure of new (east 
coast vendor) pumps yet. napa had some bad ones a few years ago but i think it was 
because the screws get tightened with no tension on the diaphragm, then it is 
too tight on upstroke. maybe its just my good luck or maybe skill but an old 
timer taught me that one many years ago on other type pumps.
