ulises

I got finally make it run, the springs in the pump were stuck. Now the problem is I need a new diesel lift pump, the one that was originally I got the fuel line inlet thread messed up trying to replace a fuel line, any advices of part number or where can I get it will be really appreciate it.

Hi Bengo, I have included a picture of the pump, can you point where are those plugs? Also I marked two screws with a small drain pipe, do you know if those are for purging the air on the pump? I only could get fuel from the top screw but nothing on the bottom screw, even that the car started right up. At least, the car is making a lot of smoke, do you think will be good to replace the injectors? They are probably 50 years old, any help will be appreciated, thank you.

Hi Kathy, yes it's an fx3, bought the car two months ago in Peoria Illinois, it was in antique store as a floor show car for over 20 years, it's a three door, I would like to convert it to for door, do you have any ideas of this can be possible? Or have you ever seen an fx3 converted to four door? If so do you know a place that I can get the door?, Any information will be appreciated, thanks

Thanks Tony!!, You were right!, I opened the rectangular cover, found three spring elements were stuck or compressed, I used a screwdriver to pushed down, made a pop sound and came back to the right position!!, One of them took me several times to get it decompress, then opened the switch, pushed the heaters button for ten seconds, pulled the starter lever and started right up!!, first start after 20 years! I have the car running for several days,it makes a lot of smoke, I planning to replace injectors,my question is I have been trying to get new injectors with no success, there's only one place on eBay but they don't send to United States, do you know any place that I can get new or rebuilt injectors for this engine? Any help will be really appreciated, thanks again!

Hi, I'm recently bought an 1957 Austin fx3 taxi, I'm located in West Chicago Illinois, USA. I bought the car 2 months ago, was in a heated storage for 20 years without starting the engine. I replaced fuel filter, oil filter, oil and fuel, and bleeding the air from the lines and pump, my question is why I'm getting only fuel coming out from the inlet line on one injector ONLY, and nothing on the other three inlets lines, could be something inside the inyección fuel pump? Or something related with the timing on the pump? Any other advices? Any information will be very helpful, thank you. Car has a BMC 4 cylinder diesel 2.2 bmc
