Yea, but that's the breaks and buying a truck without realizing that is a
fools game.
I just got a quote from Memphis Equipment for $805.50

Well the distributor shaft had sheared. Probably from the laqured fuel. I
guess parts are the hard part, Most rebuld shops were scared of the
mulitfuel part. A overhauled pump cost me $800.00 Yep.
Any way If you find you need one I could give you 1 of the 2 extras that I
got in a DRMO sale for $500.00. I bid high to insure I got the pumps and
assorted other goodies. I ope you do not need on though< It's tough to get a
truck cheep and then have to spend a lot of money to get it going.
Regards
Emmett
