The fuel pump is leaking on my 912 and JB Weld didn't fix it. Is there
anything I need to worry about when installing a new fuel pump?

Hi Pete,
I take it your talking about the mechanical pump on the right side of the gearbox. If it is only the gasket just replace it. If it is coming out of the weep hole the you need to replace the pump which comes with a new gasket. Nothing special to do just use a crows foot to help torque the nuts and apply a little anti seize to the pump plunger for that first start up so it is not dry on the gearbox lobe. Don't glob it on, a little will due. You should be using band clamps and not screw clamps on the hoses to secure them. The fuel line should be fire sleeved.

Thanks Roger. It is probably leaking out of the weep hole. Looks dry
around the gasket.
