The Tuul Crib 7,332 #1 Posted April 19, 2019 Where does this snap ring belong? Can anyone shed some light on my dilemma? These don’t come with instructions Of course I can figure everything else out but this snap ring has me baffled !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herder 2,354 #2 Posted April 19, 2019 Baffling!! I have never see a snap ring used in the install of a fuel pump. And it's too big for anything in the fuel system. It's your lucky day you gotta freebie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herder 2,354 #4 Posted April 19, 2019 I would go with the gasket and not the red rubber o ring thingamajig. I have never been able to get them to seal properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tuul Crib 7,332 #6 Posted April 19, 2019 Maybe they are some stupid idiotic Chinese thing we don’t know about. Or they may fit on there rickshaws! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chip61 655 #7 Posted April 19, 2019 I'm not a fan of this setup, but it is used to depress the "buttons" when you install the fittings on the pump body. Depress the "buttons" with the snap ring, install the fitting at the angle you need and remove the snap ring. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCM 8,650 #8 Posted April 19, 2019 @chip61 I could not for the life of me remember what that snap ring was for until your post, now I remember using that when I replaced a pump 3 years ago on my C-165-8. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Tuul Crib 7,332 #9 Posted April 19, 2019 So do you remove the four screws on the diagram and disassemble to do this ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chip61 655 #10 Posted April 19, 2019 No, look at the pump where the fittings go and you will see 2 small square indentations opposite each other. Use the snap ring to depress those and the fitting will pop right in, then remove the snap ring to lock the fitting in place. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speaking of instructions, notice how they only include pictures but no text now on almost everything nowadays. Tiny little pictures for you to figure out what the neck they are showing you.

JAinVA 4,619 #14 Posted April 19, 2019 Since the pump was probably made in China you definitely don't want written instructions.If you have ever read their English instructions, they are funny but confusing. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tuul Crib 7,332 #17 Posted April 19, 2019 How about the electric pump options. I have heard of other members here using the electric pump replacement. Is there any part numbers or recommendations for this application? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
midpack 804 #18 Posted April 20, 2019 I used electric on a C-175 when the cam lobe wouldn't push the pump lever anymore. Used a cheapo ($12) low pressure pump off ebay, couple fused connectors and some wire, a relay. Maybe $35 all in all. It's been at least 3 years now, still works great! All the info is already on this site to hook it up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,928 #19 Posted April 20, 2019 Napa 610-1052. A little more expensive than a E bay pump but if it fails you drive a few miles and they give you a new one. I've used 2 of them. Actually made by Facet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
