Diesel pump seals

Can anyone help. I replaced my Diesel pump seals today as per the fact sheet.
When I removed the dome shaped cover at the front the plunger and a cup shaped cap fell out.
I have put the new seals in and the dome shaped cap back on , but cannot get the engine to start.
Tried cranking with the pedal fully pressed.

Can anyone tell me which way round the bits that fell out go?

I have tried them all different ways round.
I've got some pics of the bits but can't work how to put them on.
Thanks

Garry

This thread by dandywarhol shows how to change the pump seals with pictures http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... pump+seals

It could also be a case of air in the injection pump & it just wants bleeding.This thread should help http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... pump+seals

After looking at your photo & then re-reading my attached threads I am unclear which way round the 2 items should be assembled but I am certain they should be inserted into the injection pump before the coil springs.I would try putting your 2 items together & seeing which way they seem to fit together best (look closely at score marks & other stained impressions of metal contact) & does one end of the pin fit inside the inner spring better than the other.

You could try sending Colyn a P.M to see if he can remember how he put his back together & give you some advice, but it is a while since he has been active on the forum....

If you do get it sorted, a couple of photo's of the correct assembly may be beneficial for the future.... I would take some photo's of the arrangement you try so know which combination you have tried if & when you have to take it to pieces again until you get it right.
Good Luck [-o<
