From the description and diagram it should have been on the shaft or in the bore the shaft slides into.
"b. Refer to figure 3-149. Install fuel control unit
assembly with new preformed packing, so that plunger
sleeve pin (A, fig. 3-47) engages plunger sleeve slot (fig.
3-148). "
The mechanical pump is before the leak. The in-tank pump pushes fuel from the tank through the primary filter to the mechanical pump. The mechanical pump then pushes fuel through the secondary and final fuel filters and into the HH.
I would tend to think it will leak even more with the engine running. The in-tank pump only has around 7 ~ 8 PSI but with the engine running the mechanical fuel pump will go up to 60 PSI.
I don't understand it either. I see this come up fairly regularly and just can't figure how this happens. With the engine running if the intake flame heater nozzle leaks that much into the intake pipe it would cause a run away long before it could start to show up in the oil somehow...
