I thought this was going to be an easy fix. I have fuel leaking from the injector pump on my starboard engine. Crawled into the tight place to see where it is coming from. It leaks from a round (about 2" dia. disk that is at the top, front of the pump. I don't know what is is but thought it would be easy to identify from my parts book or shop manual. Not so. The parts book merely points to the injection pump and lists a part number. There is no parts breakdown. I've been told it's a pulsation damper which sounds reasonable, but I don't know for sure. For some reason I was too dumb to write down the engine serial number and pump number before I left. Tomorrow I'll go back. The leak seems to be coming from the disk and from any place else. Any ideas what it is? Perkins marine mechanics are as rare as hens teeth in Iowa but I plan to ask my engineering friend at work who has a couple of Perkins powered Massey combines for and idea or a mechanic reference. It doesn't look like a hard thing to replace but I think it best to ask before attacking it.
IDEAS??
