VE pump does not like -76 degree temps
Can anyone tell me a good place to get VE pump parts? After a winter well below 0 the throttle shaft seal on mine is leaking 5 dollar a gallon diesel every where. I might get the 3200 gov spring as well. I could also so use a parts breakdown and tech manual if any one knows of one on line. Any info would help.

Thanks Too 1stGen545 over on DTR for this...
This is not a FULL rebuild just enough to help out 99% of people that will get into there own pumps and do a reseal and some pump mods.
I am going to start with the pump removed. If You cant get the pump off You don't need to get inside it.
Well here is one thing you need to loosen the bolt with the small tab and remove the tab and snug up the bolt to lock the pump from spinning. Don't over do it it only has to be snug.
Well here the nasty thing is.
Here you can see the full fuel screw and lock nut on the bottom coming out of the back Just above it is the fuel return, you can also see the Idle adjustment screw and jam nut on the side of the pump. You can also see the Shut Down solenoid that is prone to failure. It can be removed and the spring and plunger taken out the reinstalled and use the manual shut down lever on the side of the pump. Above the fuel return is the Vent for the aneroid.
Lets start with the easy things remove the Allen head from the top of the throttle shaft and mark or note the position so that it can be indexed correctly when put back.
Remove the fuel pin and spring

Then remove the 4 bolts that holt the top on the pump.
Then slowly remove the top and watch for the spring under the top. It will not just fly out. This is your govener spring and it is attached to the throtle shaft and should be disconected so that you can remove the top.
Then remove it from the "Top Hat" and remove all of it from the pump.
You can now push the throttle rod out of the top and replace the O-ring.
This is the lever that many people grind to get even more fuel it is the other end of the lever that rides on the fuel pin. The lever beside it is the manual Kill lever.
remove the nut but hold pressure on the lever so that it dose not slip. Mark how the Kill lever indexes to the shaft and then remove the lever, spring and washer. then you can you will see the o-ring and can replace it.
