It took nearly 6 weeks, but my Kugelfisher fuel injector pump is finally back from a complete rebuild by Gus Pfister of Pacfic Fuel Injection. Gus sure is busy these days. He works alone and it took longer than he'd estimated, but it's satisfying to know such an expeienced specialist rebuilt my pump. Gus told me he replaced numerous worn internal seals, bushings, fittings and thing-a-ma-bobs, made adjustments to the mysterious inner workings of the pump, and recalibrated the works on his 1950's sci-fi looking Bosch equipment. The pump now looks shiny, clean and newish with fresh external springs and lever replacing worn out the bits.
The cost was $952, including UPS COD shipping from South San Francisco to Bozeman Montana, but I'm feeling it was worth the high price just to know I won't ever have to worry if the pump could be compromising performance. I'm excited to get the engine put back together with a fresh pump, fuel injectors, injector pipes, rebuilt head, valves, camshaft, gaskets, distributor, starter and belts. I can't wait for the snow to melt so I can take her our and see how she runs. It's going to be frustrating to wait the long months before I can do that.
