Given the choice, I always remove and replace the stand with the pump attached. Easy peasy... Mike "Kube" Kubarth

Personal choice. The important thing to remember is that correct re-installation will have encountered a resistance to seating on the mount surface, an indication of the spring loaded pump arm encountering the push rod properly. Alan

The one thing that most people overlook when they remove/install a fuel pump on a flat head is to remove the fill tube assembly from the block, check the mounting surface with a straight edge to make sure it's flat.. The pumping action to operate the fuel pump tends to push the assembly up in time, thereby reducing the push rod stroke. The old Motor Manuals use to have a section about fuel pump R/R, showing a file and straight edge to correct the mounting surface of the fill tube. Bill 36 5 win delx cpe
