    These are a couple of fuel pumps in my junk pile and it’s hard to tell but the arms look lower than yours.

    Glad you got it going. Am I the only one who thinks this is strange however? How did Carter pumps get the arm length/shape wrong?

    Probably right for some other vehicle. Maybe they were careless with listing the applications.

    Some sellers don't know or care if it's an MB or a CJ, just that "it's a jeep."

    "I love you, Omix-ada!!! Your top notch attention to detail and quality has saved my bacon!"

    First time I ever heard such high praise for Omix-Ada stuff, but I have found that some of the parts from this importer are good, some not so much.

    Glad you got something that works.

    Well poop…. At least ya now now what the arm needs to look like to work just need to get one that last longer. I personally would check a Napa one or find a rebuild kit for the Chinese one.

    Don't make no sense. I'm accustomed to them lasting decades.

    Could it be sucking crap from the tank?

    Still love Omix-Ada ?

    I don't fool with the crap out there today. I find an original AC pump and rebuild it with a quality kit.

    Do you plan to return it? If you don't definitely take it apart and show us what you find. And of course you checked to make sure it's not just out of gas, right?
