i talked to you guys a while back about my 3000 injector pump thanks for the help . i took the pump off and sent it to the shop well they called back the other day and said my pump was jumk said it was plum full of rust they couldnt see how it ran at all an need a complete overhaul $980 . the price or the complete overhaul is not the thing . its the fact that i pulled the little "screen" filter out and looked before i sent it out there was NUTHIN' ZERO RUST ZERO ANYTHING. im waiting for the pump to come back so i drained the tank theres nuthin in the tank clean as a pin so hows there rust in the pump ? they pullin my legg or what ?

I've been noticing this Knoxville CL posting http://knoxville.craigslist.org/grd/1496079146.html
might be worth checking out just for comparison.

Depending how long the pump has been sitting around waiting for them to get to it, that alone can cause rust. Particularly with moist air. But looks like it would be two months, tops.

Taking a darker view, there's always the pessimistic ugly option that they are not a terribly trustworthy (or competent) shop, and have swapped your pump with a different one. That can be caused by either incompetence or malice. No particular way to tell which, and if you didn't mark the pump in some way, often no way to tell for sure if it was switched at all. But you should perhaps be asking them these questions, pointing out that it was running (after the stop lever dance) and there was no visible rust when you sent it to them.

All we can do is speculate.
 
thanks guys i drove the tractor in my shop on thursday removed the pump delivered the pump friday they called on the next monday oh! Iwill know the pump when i see it
 
Why did you remove the pump in the first place?

I haven't taken a lot fo pumps apart but the ones that I have opened up all had some degree of rust and crap inside their top covers. Water will do that...
I don't recall that there was anything in the inlet screens either. The accumulation is inside the pump body.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that if you had a reason to remove the pump because it wasn't working properly, then you probably just found the problem... The price you give is within the range of what I've been quoted to repair those pumps depending on what's wrong with a particular one.

Give this guy a call. Carburetor & Ignition Service 229-924-3220. He is one of the best injector pump people anywhere, reasonable too. He has saved me money & time more than once. Tell him what's going on with your pump & he will be more than happy to advise. Good LUCK.He is in Americus, Georgia so shipping ought not to hurt too much.
 
on your rotary pump most rust build up comes from water in fuel and not properly draining filter assy as necessary. You rarely tear into one and not find rust, remember a rotary used fuel as its lubricant if fuel is not clean then your pump is not getting the adequate lubrication. the inside of your tank will appear clean, even with presence of water. If you are pulling out of bulk tank, better have it checked as well. Full tank gets less condensation on inside, keep er full and clean and change those filters regularly.
 
No experience with them. Anything I've done with pumps were rebuilds.
Looks like that's a rebuild too as they want your core. I don't see a problem if it's a reputable supplier. Mabey someone else on here has bought one?
