Posted: Mon Feb 29, 2016 21:25 Post subject: Very old AC fuel Pump |
|
|
Hi folks,
I’m wondering if anyone can help with this one.
It's an old AC mechanical fuel pump from a 1934 Hillman Minx and I need a full repair kit for it (or another working pump), but can't find anything online. If indeed the part number to search for is 856518 then I could only find another pump being sold on eebuygum in 2011.
I'm not too worried about the break across the mounting flange, I'm sure I can get that welded and reground, but I'm pretty sure the diaphragm is shot as I’m struggling to get much out of it and it needs hand primed (with the outlet disconnected) to get it pumping itself after sitting for only a few days.
Thanks in advance for any assistance…

I wondered about flange marking but haven't ventured to take it off yet as I'm still tracing other ignition and carburettor issues so want to get that done before I get down to the pump (parts identified or solution in sight). I will see if I get the wee camera to look closer round the engine side of the body for more clues from the pump.
When I was first called to help with this old car (belongs to a friend) it had not been running for quite a few years but after doing the basic prep. work, from new battery through to getting a spark, I managed to get it started and running not too badly. Now after a 6 or 7 starts in 3 days (start & 15 minute tickovers) it appears to be down to only 2 or 3 firing from starting. I don't think that's lack of fuel as the plugs are well soaked right from startup now so I want to get that all sorted first, then there's long list of other issues...
Meantime many thanks for that link, I have sent over an enquiry form - hopefully the same pump was used in some old USA engines. _________________ '00 3.5i V6 SWB Trooper (18 MPG )

Thanks for your suggestions, I finally got around to taking the pump off and this is what we had to work with.
There was actually a part number stamped on all the separate parts, so top cover 856818, underside top casting Model B, primer cover 856228 and base 856753.
I didn't get very far with across the pond and eventually by jungle telegraph, a bit of detective work and a huge amount of luck I found a very helpful chap in Manchester who agreed to take the bits and make it all better again.
Sent off to him on a Monday and came back on Friday with a replacement base, new valves, diaphragm, gaskets, seals and a cracking clean up job. Here it is installed and the engine running sweetly.
I'm now working my way through replacing the brakes, non-existant drop link bushes, leaky rear axle pinion seal, front hub grease leaks and a whole host of other issues... but (hopefully) should have it finished and safe for road use in a couple of weeks. _________________ '00 3.5i V6 SWB Trooper (18 MPG )

I know it is an old thread (just discovered) but here goes ...
Snag is with older AC mechanical fuel pumps - the diaphragm gives up when dealing with 'ethanol-tainted' petrol.
Had this on a 1939 HRG pump. Luckily the pump takes a kit from SmallFord spares that has a modern ethanol proof diaphragm (kit used on 1172cc Ford Pop engines that used an ancient AC pump).
No problems since. |
