Volvo Penta Md6a Md7a Workshop Manua

The earlier engines had cam operated fuel pumps all to the same design however the plungers and barrels might vary as different amounts of fuel required to suite the different powers and normally this would be achieved by varying the plunger/bore diameter. However as these pumps were also used in Yanmar, Bukh, Beta and others there may be commonality and Diesel Injection companies should be able to help here as they would have CAV and Bosch information regarding what went where.

Later engines had rotary fuel pumps on the exhaust side of the crankcase and these could be a problem as although Injection specialists can service and calibrate them they can not replace any internals unless a Picker can find some hidden in a barn.

Perhaps referring to MD6/7 and rotary pumps etc will only add confusion IMHO

Gordon Bennett ! I only asked how you take a pump apart ? However I think we now know all there is to know about early Volvo Pentas !
By the way, if I had to use diesel injection specialists, I would not be boating. In fact, since one 'cocked up' the setting of an injector for a Lister CE2 I had in a narrowboat once, I have always been dubious about so called experts except for the well known one in Hoddesdon whom I have dealt with for years !
I found the best way to get the pin out was to compress the injector in a 'G' cramp and smack it downwards on the vice, refitting by pushing the roller against the bench. 'Job done', many thanks for advice !

Hope you freed up the pin so it could be drawn out with a magnet next time
