bit of a bump here, but was yours an utter pig to get fired up after replacing that seal in the pump?

I had a leak from mine in the same place and I can;t get it to fire up for more than a second or so before it dies, spent hours trying to get all the air out, going to try shifting the top of the pump on those 4 bolts, was sure it had gone back on in the same place.

Heyup,

Sorry for the slow reply here.

I did have a few problems but it was very easy to fire up (the e36 have an electric lift pump so no priming needed!)

The problem I had was that you can slide the top half of the pump forwards and back when the 4 small bolts are loose, they have an oval hole to allow it also.

It seems to adjust the position of the throttle between the two halves, too far one way and it will not even run, too far the other and it overfuelled/idled badly all the time.

The position seems to be VERY sensitive, took me ages to get it in the right place :/

Might also be worth looking at the part the throttle slots into at the bottom, that it has actually met up with the top half and not knocked out the way!

Good luck
