REFLECTOR: Franklin PZL fuel pump

[Donald Royer]

It turned out to be a false alarm. The oil was coming from a bad valve cover gasket, and the oil was dripping down on the fuel pump vent line.

My Franklin just started leaking oil around the fuel pump.  Not sure yet exactly where it's coming from.  Don, any update on what you have done?

 Oil is coming out of the vent hole in my PZL rotatory  fuel pump. Am I the first one o have this problem? Does anyone know whether it can be repaired? Looking at the illustated parts list, it seems to me that the only thing that might be a candidate for replacement is something called a needle bearing. Can anyone help me with this. The pump has less than one hundred hours on it. If it cannot be repaied, does anyone know if or where a new one might be available?  Donald Royer
