I used to have a sheet of instructions for disassembling and assembling a flathead fuel pump.  For the life of me, I cannot find it!

Does anyone have such an instruction sheet they could scan and attach?

Thanks!

Does this help Jeff. They are usually simple to take apart.

Jeff, I found a gasket for the center of the fuel pump. Do you need it?

The diaphragms usually act as the gaskets Barry??  or do you mean where it bolts to the block?

I was referring to the diaphram i believe. Anyhow it was in a package I didn't know I had.

Thanks Steve and Barry for responding!

Steve, yes, that helps immensely.  I've done the rebuild before but couldn't remember which side to drive the pin out of.  This tells me what I need to know.  Barry, I have a full rebuild kit so no need for the extra diaphragm.  I appreciate it , though!

Thanks again, gentlemen!

Is that a complete kit you have Barry?

I'm going out to the garage momentarily, and I'll bring it in and take a picture for you.

Steve, it is a complete (as far as I can tell) kit and when I felt the diaphram it still felt soft. I got involved in something else while I was in the garage, and forgot to take a picture.
