ASSEMBLY
NOTE: The new repair kits contain check valves made of a plastic material, impervious
to damage from additives. When repairing the fuel pump discard old rubber and small
plastic check valve disks, and install one new plastic disk under each retainer. Caution
must be taken not to push the check valve retainer to tightly against the check valve, this
may cause valve to deform.
