I am almost ready to start rebuilding the fuel pump on my '77 1150. What do you use to clean the metal parts? Is there anything else I need other than the diaphram kit?

If the pumps perform unsatisfactory after the rebuild, get the non return valves aswell...<br /><br />I didn't need anything to clean the pumps during rebuild. Used fuel here and there to flush.

caburetor cleaner works wonders for me cleaning my pump during rebuild. just don't use on any rubber seals or gaskets and let it drie thouroughly......

I usually go for a "check valve" kit it will come with diaphram and gaskets.<br /><br />Just make note which one faces which way before taking it apart.<br /><br />Then I use some spray carb cleaner. A stiff brush, and maybe even a small screwdriver to dislodge stubborn deposits.
