High Performance Omix-Ada 17709.01 Mechanical Fuel Pump Review

WAY COOL. I put a Willys 134 in the motor and it's pretty damn cool to see the gas pump in the bowl. Fantastic touch on a newly restored engine!

If you are rebuilding an Old gpw or Willy Flathead 4 the fuel pump body will be thinner, your factory bolts will not fit. I'm very disappointed, don't know if it still works.

I tried other pumps made in China and they did not help. This pump is amazing. Has a strong pumping effect. You can see the gas in the transparent top. It keeps the fuel in the pump for the next start. Other pumps I've used bleed gas out of the pump, making starting a chore if the jeep sits idle for a while.

The part in the picture is the part I needed. It is designed to be installed with the glass bowl on top. The part I received is similar except the glass bowl has a glass wall so it's a double bowl. This particular pump is designed to be floor mounted. I did not receive the part shown in the description. The box had the correct part number but the wrong part.

Looks cool and fits my 1954 CJ3B with F134 engine perfectly. It worked well until it stopped working. After a lot of research and ordering another one from O'Reilly Auto Parts I found that the fuel pump cam was completely worn out and there was no way to fix the problem without replacing the cam. I can't do that now so I'll be switching to an electric fuel pump until I have the time and resources to overhaul the engine. I'm pretty sure it was the original 1954 camera.
