Here's a few pics of the fuel pump on my work bench. Normally it is attached to a 72 volt DC motor, but that is waiting it's turn in a motor shop in Jersey for a rebuild.
She was completely frozen with rust. These pumps are simple and super robust, a little rust ain't enough to keep it out of service. After a soaking in a CRC product called "KNOCK 'ER LOOSE" for about a week, a few taps with a hammer, and a twist of a pry bar she broke free.
A look at the inner workings of the pump.
Here is a shot of the coupling end that normally attaches to the pump motor.
