macattack Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Got my 96 mavk with a e7 engine. Any advice on replacing the fuel supply pump. Pump has 2 lines and is mounted on the side of the injection pump and is secured by 3 bolts. Any advice is greatly appreciated Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Sounds like the lift pump with the plastic check valves, check them first. Terry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Mack Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 You got me curious Terry.. I think piston length is 'key' otherwise ,, easy swap.. Of course, I am very rusty on repairs that I have only done a few, and a long time ago.. jojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 The lift pump I am thinking was on the older engines, E7 might be completely different.🤷♀️. Terry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macattack Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 Do I have to worry about engine timing or just remove and replace? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macattack Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 Having starting issues. Checked for leaks and can't seem to find any. So thinking this may be the next to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you checked the drain back tee at the end of the pump! Also the jumper between the heads ! Quite common for these return lines to cause start issues! Any of these plastic line can cause issues! Hate to see you throw money at an un needed pump! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macattack Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 Thanks I will check those. Is the drain back tee a check valve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terry Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 The slightest crack in a return line will let it bleed off, Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macattack Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 Thanks for all the replies. Gonna do some more investigating in the next couple days. Time is a issue right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution macattack Posted August 5 Author Solution Share Posted August 5 Ok got a chance to take a look and noticed the line coming from the injection pump to the one side of the secondary fuel filter was cracked up. Replaced it and gonna give it a couple days to see if that fixed it. Will post if that cured things. Thanks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macattack Posted August 8 Author Share Posted August 8 (edited) Well changing that hose didn't fix it but no problem the hose needing replacing anyways. Took a closer look and found a cracked small plastic line. It was shot. It was connected to a banjo bolt with tees on the driver side of inj pump and went to a fitting on the passenger side.. I attached a couple pictures you can see the wear and cracks. Thanks everybody for the help Edited August 8 by macattack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
