Thanks much for reply! That sounds like good advice to me. I don’t have an engine hoist yet, but will probably just pick one up from Harbor Freight when I am ready. It’s just too cold for me to work outside now that I’m retired. Lol I ordered a fuel bowl assembly that looks like it might fit...

Cool! What a fun job that must have been! I only lived as close to that as Alameda, CA for a little over a year, but I sure enjoyed that area. The weather was always nice there in my opinion anyway. I went back to that area on vacation maybe 10 years ago. Everything had changed since I lived...

Thanks much for great photos! Your repair work looks very professional in my opinion. Thanks to your experience, creative ideas and photos and all the contributions from Mr Rooks and others at this site, I now at least have a repair plan in mind. My fuel bowl valve is leaking too. I found that...

Thanks much Mr Rooks! Those links you posted are just what I needed to see.

Thanks much for photos. That silver canister looks like it might be block heater maybe. Those suggestions you made about cover plate and leaving pump connected to fuel lines sound great. Also the idea you have about using fluorescent dye in IP sump. Do you just use 4 ounces of engine oil for...

Okay. Sounds good to me. I will look for electric lift pump. Do I need to look for some specific pressure rating?

Lol. I agree with you. I never throw anything away either. I seem to find some odd use for them years later.

Thanks much Mr Rooks! From that photo there doesn’t seem to be any o-rings or seals that I would be able to replace in the lift pump. Do you have a method for repairing a leaking lift pump? If so, I would gladly try to do that on mine before going any farther.

Thanks much for all of the details Piper!!! I like the idea of an overflow bottle on the IP sump. You mentioned an "input shaft seal at the timing gear". I think that could very well be my problem also. Is that something you are going to try to replace in your situation? You have mentioned in...

Thanks much for reply. I'm starting to wonder if maybe is a leaking injector as you have mentioned above. Do you know of a way to verify this? Is there a way I can test for leaky injector? Or do I just have to replace one at a time until bad one is found?

As I recall, this injector pump requires oil to be added to the injection pump manually. I think you can probably see the small dipstick on the injector pump in the photo I posted earlier.

Okay I finished the air testing. I completely sealed the outlet side of the lift pump, covered the whole mounting side of the lift pump with thick soapy water and applied 120 pounds of air to the inlet side of lift pump. After 12 attempts with lots of soapy water and lots of air pressure, not...

Thanks much Mr Rooks for reply. I have the 25hp 3Cylinder Laidong engine. I don't believe there is a hose as you have described, but it does look possible to leak fuel from the injection pump into the sump from the place that Piper mentioned. Right now it seems the only way to find out is to...

Okay I had time to finish removing the fuel lines from lift pump today. Sorry for delay. Am hoping for tomorrow to do the air pressure application as you have instructed. I will try to send photo if possible. Thanks much for all of your help!

Okay I finally got around to removing lift pump. I just removed the (3) 10mm nuts from the lift pump flange and the pump came right off. As soon as I loosened those (3) nuts, fluid started pouring out from the gap created by loosening the three 10mm nuts. I assumed that the fluid was diesel...
