Similar problem. '50 B2B crusin' down the road, engine starts to stumble, barely keep it running with choke, finally dies in a cow pasture. Drag it home, fulcrum pin has migrated nearly completely out of pump. Pushed it back in and staked it. I thought I had done a decent job of it. Today, months later, stumble, die. Crawl under and find pin sticking out. Push it in and arrive at destination and leave it running to charge the battery. It dies while I'm in the store. Go buy a small ball peen hammer and a 2" C-clamp. It gets me home. Whew!!!
Does Andy Dermbaum have better parts than the chain stores? Or should I just cross drill a home made shaft and cotter pin it in the old one?
Man I love my ol' Dodge
