Jeep CJ 258 Manual Fuel Pump Issues - Install

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

OMG!!! The manual fuel pumps on the market right now are complete crap. Tired of being stranded on the side of the road and seeing fuel leak out of your newly replaced manual fuel pump? Well, I think I've found the solution or at least one that works. In this video we remove, discuss, adjust, and install a new fuel pump for the Jeep/AMC 258 engine.

    I just installed the mechanical fuel pump from RockAuto and so far it’s working great! I had trouble with the Indian Head shellac and gasket option as oil was leaking out at the bottom of the pump once installed. The first time I just used the shellac on the gasket to fuel pump side and then used the shellac on both sides (very clean mating surface I assure you). Both times I got a decent oil leak which is still perplexing to me! I finally tried The Right Stuff instead of the gasket and that worked perfectly, no leak at all. I’ll try the shellac on another upcoming project whenever I use a cork gasket, unfortunately it just didn’t work as expected this time around.

    I got pretty lucky. I added whichever pump you typically get from Napa in 2016 and it never gives me issues. I do run ethanol guard in the fuel year round and rec 90 no ethanol in the fall right before I store it in the garage. But at that time, no one ever seemed to have this pervasive and wide spread issue. I also went back and forth about whether to run the stock 2 outlet and fuel return style filter and system. I ended up going with a 4 barrel and no return and it hadn’t caused me any issues after 4-5,000 miles in Ohio weather. I do run the stock style charcoal tank vent. A few years ago a lot of the problems we are having with rebuilt pumps was happening with alternators. Lots of DOA’s

    Thanks for the recommendation. I have had problems with two pumps on my 83 Cherokee 258. Using a Carter now but just ordered yours. With respect to the filter, I have one between the pump and the carb. Tells you the same info about getting gas to the carb. The problem with the filter upstream of the pump is that it is now another source for suction leaks which can greatly affect the pumping. It’s surprising how much vacuum it takes to get fuel out of the tank. Just realized I don’t have a return line on the filter before the carb. That could be an issue.

    Without that return line, you’re going to run into suction issues a lot. Vapor lock in specific. Haven’t had a single suction issue since it’s just a filter so unless it’s clogged it would be an inhibitor. Report back on your new fuel pump. I hope it’s as good as I think it is.

    Going through this myself right now, the one I got from NAPA is still under warranty so I'll try the new one to see how it works before returning it and trying something else. I just got a fuel pressure gauge that I'm installing in front of the carb so I can keep an eye on the pressure to make sure it's not dropping. That clear filter is a good idea, you can actually see when the thing stops pumping. It's very frustrating as these things were bulletproof for 80 years and now you can't count on them.

    HEADS UP ON THIS PUMP! Mine lasted less than 2 hours run time and started to shoot gas out the vent all over the fender well! However, I was forced to add a pressure regulator since weber carbs will flood with over 3 psi or so. This may be a good pump for carbs calling for 5+ psi, I have a feeling it was putting out even more, maybe 7 psi. I run a return line but it was after the regulator which is set around 2 psi {recommended by weber tech at Redline}, which apparently causes pump to fail? No more mechanical pumps with webers for me, going electric, and they have their own issues. They tend to also be crappy, even the expensive holleys don't seem to be the same quality as years ago. Here we go again!

    For real! Update- I tried the lower pressure edlebrock electric pump to eliminate the pressure reg., it ALMOST worked! It ran great, but just started to run out of gas on sustained full throttle which I rarely do, but "almost" ain't gonna get it. Sooo, got the standard edlebrock pressure pump, {sold by at least 3 different company names}, and added the regulator. It is now working beautifully and I love the ability to let it run for 3 seconds before cranking engine and then having it instantly start no matter how long it's been sitting. Luvin it- so far! Keeping a spare onboard, can probably replace it in 3 minutes on side of road if need be. I don't mind going thru this much crazy as long as it works out in the end.

    I’d try disconnecting the fuel line from the carburetor and use a hand pump to pull the fuel up the line, first. If that doesn’t work, it sounds like an issue in the fuel tank. Could be a clog/crimp in the line somewhere or a problem with the fuel stained in the tank. Obviously the last option is more intensive. I have videos on both if that helps.

    I have a 1980 CJ7. It has a Weber carb that was rebuilt by a local mechanic recommended to me. He put in a new mechanical fuel pump and a glass filter. He said that the pressure was too high so he added a regulator. The pump is rated at 5psi. From the filter is just one line to the carburetor. No return line. I too have been through 2 fuel pumps in 2 months. The last one lasted about 10 miles. I bought the US Motorwoks pump you suggested. So, questions are, 1) install the new pump with or without the regulator?, 2) is the lack of a return a problem, 3) should I just go electronic before or after this try?

    I do most of my business through Oreillys, so when I needed a stock fuel pump for my 258 I bought their Precision brand. I am now on my 3rd warranted unit, and I'm thinking it's giving me trouble again. Fuel tank is new, pickup is new, hard and soft lines are all new with 2 inline filters. The clear Wix filter in between the pump and carb looks empty and I'm thinking it's causing me a fluctuating idle. Not sure what route to go, I've heard all these mechanical pumps are made under the same company.

    The fluctuating idle can be from a bunch of different issues, but with everything new from the tank forward, and that you’re on your 3rd pump, I feel like it’s on its last legs. Sounds like you need to return the warranty pump for a refund and try something different. Or your going to need to keep a backup in your CJ just in case. :)

    Interesting. I just installed a new pump yesterday can’t get it to pump at all. Did you just hook up like a shop vac after pump to pull fuel up? I’ve Been told just cranking the key should create all the suction you need

    Just installed a fuel pump and it seems as if its bad out of the box. Im not getting any fuel to the carb at all. Checked The lines to make sure There wasnt a block. Im able to get fuel from the tank to the line just before the fuel pump but nothing after that. Couldnt it be a bad fuel Pump out of the box ir is there something Im missing?

    I would say, DOA. But that is assuming that you installed it with the pump arm resting on top of the cam lob. Also, have you tested to see if fuel is coming out of the tube that goes into the carb bowl? If that isn’t happening, then yea, you’re pump is dead. Mind if I ask what brand?

    Yeah i installed the arm to rest on the top lobe. Had to watch your video to walk me through. Also, yes I did check the fuel Line going into the carb and no fuel. I bought an omix but it was before I saw your video. I have an american auto works pump enroute.

    I'm going to ask you a couple dumb questions so I apologize in advance. I appreciate your help and I'm constantly learning. Do you have a preference between worm drive clamps and spring clamps? If spring what size clamp are using on your 5/8 od fuel line? I got a 5/8 clamp and it just didn't feel tight. 2. Do I or should I use tape on the tubing threads that runs from the fuel pump toward the carb? Thank you again for your help

    Today, I received my New Carb compatible for Jeep 2-Barrel BBD 6 CYL 4.2L 258 CJ7 1984 -from maxpeedingrods at Amazon. Let me explain my setup so you can better advise me on how to proceed. Ignition has been upgraded to HEI. Also, I installed an inline see thru fuel filter before the mechanical fuel pump and installed new fuel pump. Also installed a manual fuel regulator since I measured the fuel pump and it was supplying 10 psi and I have it set to 4 psi before entering the fuel filter that goes before the carburetor. I adjusted the idle speed to 600rpm and checked the advance timing to be 8 btdc. Then I noticed that mixture was reach due to black smoke out when accelerating. I closed both idle mixture completely and then open them both 1 1/2 turn. After that it was too rich and black smoke came out of the exhaust so I connected a vaccum gauge to adjust the idle mixture closing but keeping highest vaccum at 20 psi but even though it keeps mixture rich but it is much better. My situation now is that it hesitates when accelerating from idle. It runs ok on higher gear like 2nd, third, forth. But it stalled when climbing a small hill entering my garage. ¿Do you have any advice on how to proceed?

    I’m going through the same thing. It’s a refined game of air/fuel and timing. You need to adjust one screw at a time. 1/4 a turn at a time. Test drive and adjust. Same goes for the timing. With the HEI you might be able to move the timing out to 9 or 10.
