[SEL] Need Stover Fuel Pump Parts

[Jim and Diane]

Hi Paul,

Your pump plunger looks like it would be pretty easy to make.  Get a chunk 
of 5/8 CRS and cut it of a little long and finish the ends to 3 and 3/16 and 
do what ever is required for the spring pocket  Looks like an hour or so on 
the lathe maybe less since you did not tell us anything about the internal 
detail.

Folks this will be my 4th attempt to send this message. I sent the first 
message 3 hours ago and it still has not shown up on the List. I am trying 
again. It will be my luck that all four messages will come through at the 
same time but here goes again:

Ok gang my nerves are finally settled down after the big explosion in the 
shop so now I need your help again. Take a look at the plunger that came out 
of the pump. There are two views of the plunger:

These pictures were taken after I had put the plunger in a lathe and spun it 
while using some 150 sandpaper. Is this plunger useable or not? If not does 
anyone know where I can get another one. The plunger is badly pitted and 
this is why it was stuck in the bore of the pump.

It is 3.182" long X .625 diameter and of course it is hollow for the spring 
to go into.

The pump had (2) .375 steel balls for check valves. I am hoping I can find 
these locally as they are a common size.

Guys let me know what you think about the plunger?

Thanks
