REFLECTOR: Franklin Engine Parts-Fuel Pump

[Alex Balic]

Jeff-
They are correct- it is difficult to make a good repair on Magnesium
casting- if the part is not too complicated, you can probably take all of
the measurements, and get a new one machined out of aluminum- shouldn't be
more than 150-200 bucks,  (I can give you a name of an outstanding machinist
if you need) and it would be a lot stronger than the Mag Casting ever
was.....

  Hey All....I while back I broke an ear off of the mounting flange of my
new Franklin fuel pump....I have checked around here but have been told it
cannot be satisfactorily welded because it is magnesium....I have called Ft
Collins Franklin engine but got no help (All they had was the complete fuel
pump assembly...for which I already paid ~$900) All I need is part
No.26.11.1262 Adapter-Pump Drive (see attached)...Does ANYONE know where I
might get this part?  Does anyone know of a contact in Poland (via e-mail
preferrably) who might be able to help? (Ft Collins Frankilin said there
were still some people there).......... THANX in Advance   Jeff Clough
