8. Remove delivery valve from wax wrapping. Make sure its clean. Install the new valve into pump, as it was shipped. Install new o-ring from kit onto the barrel.

9. Now install your spring and seat assembly into the barrel, carefully install the barrel and spring and seat assembly back into the pump.

10. Tighten the barrel until it lightly seats in the pump.

13. Reinstall injection lines, tighten lines on the pump, leaving the ones on the injectors finger tight

14. Replace wires to the grid heater.

15. Install air intake horn and tin valve cover

16. Attempt to start the engine. Do not crank engine for more than 20 seconds before allowing starter to cool for 2 minutes. Repeat this procedure once or twice more until you see some fuel at the injectors.

17. Tighten lines at the injectors. Go ahead and start the engine. Engine may run rough for a few seconds, then should smoothen out. Shut engine off, clean up any fuel leakage, restart engine and check for any leaks.
