RE: Found a fuel leak...

Jon's right, the manuals I have don't cover the injector pump in any more detail than to treat it like it was a single part.

We've decided to wait for a couple of weeks to repair it. We are going up on the hard on the 4th to paint the bottom and do some other below-the-waterline stuff. With my crappy luck, I'd somehow get stuck not being able to get it back together in time. She runs right now, I'll deal with the leak for a while and change the diapers ;o)

I don't suspect the throttle shaft it one of the highly machined and delicate parts of the injector pump that takes a clean room and a PhD. to fix, so I will snoop around for the o-ring when I get the pump off. Shouldn't be a huge deal. Skinny Dippin' is a single Perkins and I do have some wiggle room in the engine bay to pull the pump off. Besides, looking forward to trying as this is my first diesel.
