NO....
It means a simple removal of the inlets and replace the O rings. You don't have to remove the pump. These pumps are 'hardy' and trouble free providing the fuel filters are serviced (replaced) and fresh, clean fuel is used.
As a quick/easy fix, how about a manual fuel shut off valve?
Yep, that will work as a temporary fix, but you may still have the fuel pipes drain into, and through the pump....(not nearly as much though)
I have the same problem with a MF 165, fuel filling the crankcase. How hard is it to re-build and adjust?
I'm not sure on the Massey's, but I've had three pumps, on three different occasions, apart on the Yanmar tractors....and I've leaned my lesson
It's better left to the guys that specialize in pump repair. The metering rod, rack and helical-gears are all critical to the pump timing and IMHO, the most complicated part of the tractors. The most I've paid was $225. for a pump overhaul - that was bad (plus I worked on it which didn't help
)
