i was putting my motor together today and looked in the place where the fuel pump rod guide goes and there is a broken piece stuck kinda deep in there. What should i do to get it out?. i have to have it done soon.

Are you saying the pump actuator rod is broke off in the motor? Please clarify. Do you have a pic? Are the case halfs apart. Is your distributer drive gear installed or out and damaged. Not enough info yet to analize.

Not the rod. But the hard plastic that guides it, the case isnt split, and the dist. gear is fine

It usually takes splitting the cases to remove this broken piece. You may want to try to use a thread tap and screw it in to the hole in the center. Then you will need to rig up some type of slide hammer or use vice grips and a hammer to tap the thing out. That's about your only options without taking it apart.

thanks guys. i will try that roy, sounds like it will work

Is it plastic or the original bakelite type material?
The latter is usually brown.
This may sound silly but I've drilled the bakelite versions out without any ill effects.
1/2" drill bit.
Pull the oil pump, stick a vacuum hose in the pump opening and drill away.
Every one I've done will usually break loose and spin out before the drill is all the way through the material.
Vacuum usually takes care of any debris.

the petasal.

I wouldn't take any chances, for what it takes to pull it apart, i would take it apart and get all the pieces out.

Pull the oil pump.
See if it's laying there.

i can see it thru the hole. But i think i found out why my other motor was ticking so bad, a rod is wayyyyyyyy loose. so i am taking both out to my motor guy

Side to side loose or in and out loose?
There should be some side movement but no in and out.
Guess you took more than the oil pump out to discover that..........
