Help on M38 Fuel Pump

Post by dpcd67 » Fri Apr 27, 2018 6:35 am

I saw that you are supposed to drill an oil drain hole in the bottom chamber when rebuilding but I have lost that reference. Can anyone point me to it again?

Found it again; it's in the Operators TM; paragraph 131b. I am just surprised that no one know about it.

By now, the majority of the pumps will have that hole.
