So, the old girl is dripping fuel at a steady rate from what appears to be a 'standard' fuel pump in the block of the John Deere 490D (1990). The fuel seems to be coming from a little hole at the very bottom...
Remarkably, the 555 page repair manual says absolutely nothing on this, while it goes into the minutia on everything else! Why? More importantly, is this truly a over-the-counter fuel pump that supplies the fuel injector? And, does a person just R & R like any other fuel pump? Maybe prime it when it is bolted to the block?
Thanks for any thoughts on this. The repair seems so simple, I am suspicious!!
