I'd take it apart and see what the diaphragms look like . . . maybe ones from another brand/type of pump can be used. Did Charlie say that he had any experience looking in to the guts of one of these or not?

Charlie i know he did one of this because i have seen it on the Hamb many years ago , the only solution will be to send t ohim, the one i have is NOS then should be ok to drive as it is , but normally i prefere to restore before use because the gas it's not the same today
 
NOS doesn't mean squat with old pumps . . . you're making a great assumption that the diaphragms are in good shape. Before I'd put this on my car - I'd make damn sure it was gone through. Think about what can happen when a diaphragm ruptures . . . not good!
 
The diaphram in a Blackstone is just a sheet of rubber or some sort of rubber fabric. It pumps with pressure from the air side of the pump. I once had a instruction sheet and over the years have lost it. If anybody out there knows which push rod and length of the rod to use with which pump I would appreciate it. I have a couple of those pumps.

in my knowledge the original push rod based on your engine should work , tiny and short for 59A and bigger on 8BA but not sure 100%

this is why i'm looking for a rebuilding kit, but now i'm thinking should i struggle all the time to run this pump? i'm starting getting tired :rolleyes:
 
Hello, I have the same pump, and purchased a re-build kit for it. The kit was supplied with an ethanol resistant diaphragm. I don't have time to look for the supplier right now, I'm recovering from a medical issue and cleaning up after a severe weather storm. Give me a couple of weeks, and I'll try and find the supplier. Hang in there, the re-build kit is available.

that's great, take care hope soon you will be on the road and can give me good input
thanks
 
Good News! If you find a supplier, buy a COUPLE kits as I can't imagine them being popular or available the next time you need one.
 
Question: It looks like a double-action pump with two diaphragms . . . one for fuel and the other for vacuum? Are those two hose connections for vacuum?
