Looking for suggestions for a place to rebuild my fuel injection pump. Its a minimec pump off a 1982 Lehman 120.
The pump is leaking diesel into the lube oil, as is evidenced by the increasing lube oil level I measure when I change it. I have reduced the interval from 50 hours to 40 hours and its still exceeding the normal level.
One trawler buddy recommended Boston Injector. I called today and the owner told me my pump probably needs the valves to be replaced. Without looking at it, he ball parked an estimate of $900, possibly lower once he tears it apart.
Has anyone sent their injection pump to American Diesel (who will then send it out)?
Any any suggestions?
thanks
