I am looking for a return spring for my Holley 130 GPH Mechanical 6-valve diaphragm fuel pump. I am talking about the little spring that holds the actuator lever up against the fuel pump push rod. Mine is broken. I am sure this part comes in the rebuild kit for these pumps, but I cannot find that either. Can anyone help with this? Worst case I figure I should be able to find a similar spring to put in there, but might go ahead and rebuild it while I'm fooling with it.

I would call these guys:

They rebuilt and installed high-press springs in my 6-valve pumps last year (I installed a regulator).
They told me that they actually made the 6-valve pumps for Holley.

Tried calling them Friday, but no answer. Left a message, have not heard back from them. Guess I'll try calling them back. If no luck here, may have to measure the spring and try to find a replacement online somewhere, although I have no idea how to figure out what kind of spring rate I might need or materials. This thing is going to take a lot of reps.

Rebuild kit is about half the price of a new pump @ clay smith

I have a couple of those pumps laying around I could see if they still have that spring if you want

That would be awesome. I would owe you a beer or three. The spring doesn't look like anything special. I can probably measure it with a dial caliper and find something that would work, but having the one that goes in there would be peace of mind.

Measured the spring that was in there. It measured 0.35 diameter, 1.25" length, and the coil was 0.045" diameter wire. Might have to do some digging on the web if ICD doesn't have one.

I`m pretty sure this is it




PM me your address I`ll throw it in the mail.

Honestly, I looked at that pic 10 times before I saw a spring. Lol

Daaayumm! I'll drive up to Chicago to pick it up in person if you can promise me she will be standing there in your garage! PM coming shortly. Thanks Dan! The power of OSO at work again.
