The ebay seller is js0569. the lady is working her way through all the stock and knows nothing about pumps but I would say there are some bargains to be had there if anyone else is looking for an injection pump that was refurbished and tested on a machine by an old-school engineer.

I forgot to say thankyou to all who replied with sound advise. My father always tried to teach me that i do not need to call a man everytime i have a problem and to try and do things for myself, and it has really helped me. Not mentioning names of course but there is another lady boater here who calls an engineer just to check the oil level on the dipstick in-between services as she does not want to get it wrong.

I am feeling really stupid, I took out the idle blanking bolt and installed the idle adjuster from the old pump but there was no difference. I assumed the pump was dodgy. Woke up this morning after a long night installing the pump and immediately noticed i had connected the fuel in and out the wrong way on the fuel filter housing. I switched them back to the correct connections and the pump fired up perfectly!! been out driving it about in strong wind for 1 hour and the engine is producing far less smoke than it ever has the 4 years i have had it. The ebay pump is perfect and I am super happy with the job the old boy has done with it. I paid £90 and didn't need to give my old pump in exchange. Just goes to show after a long day and night best to stop before 1am as this is too late to be doing mechanics under a head torch and expect to not make simple mistakes as to which way an arrow is pointing on a filter housing. fine tuned the idle bolt as per the bmc manual again and all seems good. Not even 1 drip of fuel anywhere on the pump OMG!!!!!!

New pump fitted and bled correctly. it runs really rough and wont go above idle. I know from reading here that I can not get the pump 180 degrees out but it seems like it is. Anyone know what the problem could be?

My injector pump has been leaking from the throttle shaft, stop shaft, housing for shafts gasket and now a new leak from pump body to the head where injector pipes are fitted. It is not useable anymore as it spills more fuel than it sends to injectors, so i ordered a reconditioned one. The new pump was reconditioned some time ago by a man who has passed away and stored in sealed plastic for some years. The pump looks good but where the anti stall screw should be is a bolt and rubber o ring instead. I am now thinking the bolt was put there to stop air getting in and i need to remove it from old pump and put it on the new pump. Should i be doing this or is it normal to have it blanked off?
