Re: Another Lister generator problem
Yes, Finray, I think you did! I've always been told to never fiddle with an injector pump! Looking at the exploded view of the Bryce pump, with 24 internal parts, filled me with total dread. And then I thought tat if it went pair shaped, I would just hand them over to the good man at Ashers and let ...

Re: Another Lister generator problem
Ureeka! Thanks all for all of your suggestions. I bit the bullet and undid the top of the pump and removed the spring and plunger, as suggested, and then pumped fuel through. I managed to get it back in without things flying about. Connected up, and noticed a different sound from the pump, or somewh...

Re: Another Lister generator problem
It crossed my mind that if I take it over to Aaher, they can certainly take it apart and make sure there's nothing stuck. I am then back to square one bleeding the darn thing again! I know the guy there took the slider fuel adjuster out, because he asked me which round it was fitted! Luckily had a p...

Re: Another Lister generator problem
Thanks Marcus, thinking the same. I'll hop back on the ferry this week and take the pump, injector and connecting pipe over to Asher and hope they can sort it...

Re: Another Lister generator problem
I've had another go,.... Something is not right. When I squeeze the bulb, fuel gushes through with the injector disconnected. Hook it up upside down so that it stays decompressed and I can check for mist, and nothing, whether I squeeze or not. Stop squeezing and just a dribble. It looks as if the fu...

Re: Another Lister generator problem
Thanks, yes, I've looked at these pics before. I don't think I dare take the pump apart, it will never go back correctly! I will give it one more go tomorrow and take a few pics.

Re: Another Lister generator problem
That is fundamentally correct. To start with (after it had run dry( distracted by the grand children)), I followed the instructions. Bled air from the filter, and from the top of the injector pump, on the inlet side, I believe. cranked a while, with no luck. I then cracked the connection to the inje...

Re: Another Lister generator problem
Thanks for all of your moral boosting posts! well yes, the injector is out, I'm squeezing the bulb, spinning the engine, fuel flying every where! It of course drops down into the sump past the injector pump, and I will have to change the oil before starting, IF I can ever get fuel through the inject...

Re: Another Lister generator problem
well, I'm flummoxed by this. I have tried loosening off the top of the injector, as advised by Asher (Injector specialist, who tested the injector, and was ok, hand tested the injector pump and thought ok), but no joy. I then jury rigged a temporary feed with a squeeze bulb and pumped copious amount...
