Testing the Fuel Feed Pump
1. Install the fuel feed pump onto the injection
pump.
2. Run the fuel line directly from tank as shown in
Figure 6-39
. Fuel piping should be provided
directly from the tank, not through the delivery
pump for this test.

Suction Test for the Priming Pump
Loosen the handle of the priming pump and push
the handle at 60-100 strokes / minute. If fuel comes
out of the delivery side of the feed pump
(Figure 6-40, (4))
after about 30 strokes, the
priming pump is normal. If it takes longer, replace
the priming pump as a set.
