Due to a broken lower part of the fuel pump it was fixed by the fuel line to the carb only. Luckily I was able to lose the screws of the fuel line without damaging them. The state of the line made me expecting the opposite, just see how rotten it looks:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-310\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.entfallteiledienst.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSCF4889-e1507058119520.jpg\" alt=\"\" height=\"437\" width=\"609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.entfallteiledienst.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSCF4889-e1507058119520.jpg 609w, https:\/\/blog.entfallteiledienst.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSCF4889-e1507058119520-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.entfallteiledienst.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSCF4889-e1507058119520-230x165.jpg 230w, https:\/\/blog.entfallteiledienst.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSCF4889-e1507058119520-350x251.jpg 350w, https:\/\/blog.entfallteiledienst.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSCF4889-e1507058119520-480x344.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 609px) 100vw, 609px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I tested the line and it was still tight, no little rust hole, so I will use it again on the rebuild engine to save another original part.

But this way I want to save at least the upper part of the pump.<\/p>\n<p>So I looked for a lower fuel pump part in my parts bin, thinking this is not a big deal as in my opinion there was no difference between 6 and 8 mm pumps when looking at the lower part of the pump only. But again the Barndoor thought me that nothing is easy when it comes to these early cars!<\/p>\n<p>See here the lower fuel pump part and its quite big \u201cSOLEX\u201d script:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-312\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.entfallteiledienst.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSCF4894-e1507057371899.jpg\" alt=\"\" height=\"768\" width=\"1024\"><\/p>\n<p>And here one of 26 (!) fuel pumps part I have in stock and I could take apart for the lower section, they all look the same saying \u201cDEUTSCHE VERGASER GESELLSCHAFT\u201d:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-323\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.entfallteiledienst.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG00430-20171002-1807-e1507057454820.jpg\" alt=\"\" height=\"900\" width=\"1200\"><\/p>\n<p>Damned!
