Description of the fuel pump design

The B-9V fuel pump (Fig. 1) is a diaphragm type, driven by an eccentric located on the engine camshaft

The fuel pump consists of prefabricated housing units with a diaphragm 8 and a drive lever 9, a head with valves 4 and 7 and a cover.

Fuel pump: 1 - hand pump lever; 2 - sealant; 3 - mesh filter of the control hole; 4 - discharge valve; 5 - screw for fastening the filter cover; 6 - mesh filter; 7 - suction valve; 8 - diaphragm; 9 - drive lever

A diaphragm of four petals made of varnished fabric is clamped between the body and the pump head.

The diaphragm rod is sealed with a rubber seal 2.

The valve consists of a cage made of zinc alloy, a rubber valve and a brass plate, pressed by a spring (made of bronze wire).

A filter 6 made of fine brass mesh is installed above the suction valves of the pump.

To fill the carburetor with fuel when the engine is not running, the pump has a device for manual drive.

To control the tightness of the diaphragm in the pump housing there is a hole with a strainer 3.

In case of replacing valves, when pressing the clips, it is necessary to ensure the size between the clip and the valve for inlet valves 1.5–1.8 mm, for exhaust valves 2.0–2.3 mm.

When installing the pump head on the housing, tighten the eight fastening screws and, without tightening them, move the manual pumping lever to the upper position and only then finally tighten the screws.
