RE: Found a fuel leak...

I have just finished fixing the exact same problem on my CAV fuel pump on my HD 6354 Perkins.
I pulled the pump, but,having to fly back to Canada, got a mechanic to pull the injectors and, find a rebuild shop and reinstall.
to pull the pump, take ALL of the fuel lines off; I tried loosening the high pressure lines and wasted an hour and lots of skin trying to slip the pump past the hi pressure lines.
The injectors were in good shape apart from carbon.
Rebuild of pump was $900 ( I was quoted $1900 for an exchange from an online company in Philly) Injector removal and reinstallation of pump and injectors was almost 10 hours of the mechanics time (and I was back to the boat when it was reinstalled).
I could not have done it any quicker
