A DDEC III with waxed fuel, got some 911 and treatment in it and got it in the shop just barely
before it died. So let it set in side over night, checked the fuel this morning and could see the bottom
of fuel tank-cleared up. Went to start it, no go. Tack moved fuses were good, would try to on a wiff
of ether. Checked filters {ok} decided to check fuel supply pump mounted at back of compressor.
checked to make sure compressor was turning {ok}. I pulled the out line no fuel on crank over.
Had a derelict setting out in the yard so removed that pump and installed, fired right up after a few
revolutions. In my years I have never seen one take a dump like that, that quick. Don't if it was just
age plus the waxed fuel that stopped it's clock.
Anyone ever see one of those pumps just up and quit in cold conditions?
