fuel cam lobe gone?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   so i managed to set the points get the gap and even figure the rotor spins CCW, went with starter fluid and she started and puttered for a split second, now my new problem is that theres a new fuel pump and when i try and use that, she doesnt suck. i know she works since i pulled her out and pumped it myself. I was looking inside but trying to look inside and turn the key resulted in me using my phone and video mode. to what looked like min to no lobe left. Does anyone know where to get a new one. Or are all of ya just gonna say block it and put a electric fuel pump on. If thats the case anyone have a link to one they use.

Thanks guys

Patrick

	Can't get a new lobe lobe without getting a new cam. Been there, done that.

	The fuel pump lobe is not very obvious. I don't know the exact difference between the high spot and the low spot, but it can't be more than a 1/4".
