Well, if you have more than one gasket top and bottom of the fuel pump stand
you can remove the extras down to one. Only other suggestion I have is a new
fuel pump or try to block sand down the plastic/bakelite fuel pump stand
slightly so that you get more throw to the fuel pump. Haven't heard of this
being a problem before but you might measure the fuel pump actuating rod
compared to a new one and see if it has worn down some of the length over time.
For the cost and effort, I think I would just slap on a new fuel pump and keep
the old one as an emergency spare.

it read 2.5 psi.... it did not move at all when I revved the engine....this is
on a 1600DP stock engine....
It's lower than the Bentley specs which are between 3.0 and 5.0 psi....
Suggestions?
BTW, this is the original fuel pump in my 71 Westy. I did pop the top off
about a month and cleaned the screen in it.
