Check to make sure that the cam lobe that drives the fuel pump has enough
throw. The lobe is as likely to wear as the push rod. I would manually
operate the pump with my thumb and see how far it has to travel to cause the
pump to pump. Then put the push rod in and rotate the engine and see if the
push rod has at least enough travel to operate the pump. If it doesn't have
enough travel then you will have to replace the cam shaft or weld and
regrind it. I am not sure how to check the pushrod length other than by
trial and error after making sure the cam lobe isn't worn.
