Larry,
Helped a friend troubleshoot a
fuel problem with his IO 360 in an RV-8. New pump on a rebuilt engine. It had
supposedly been test run before shipping. One of the internal check valves was
deformed when pressed into the pump body when the pump was manufactured. No way
it could work properly. Do you suppose there's a batch of bad ones out
there?

This just in. We tore down the second mechanical pump and, lo and
behold, one of the two internal check valves doesn't check. It allows
fuel to drizzle right back through it ....
