1988 Ranger, 2.3 l transplant. Mechanical fuel pump and aftermarket Weber carb.
The pump looks new but it's not pumping, possibly not priming.
Gas in the tank, and fuel does siphon through the line up to the pump connection.
I took the pump off. The pump lever arm where the cam rubs it only moves maybe 1/16-inch, maybe 3/32.
If you peer down into the pump, that end only appears to be moving maybe 1/8-inch.
Is that all the movement these pumps normally have , or is something jammed that I cannot see ?
