Third World BOSCH Injection Pump Repair
 
It's a Japanese unit built under license and was clearly submerged in water for some time :

This same guy has an interesting video of a steam powered bicycle he made...

Oh man… if you choose to go down it, you’ve opened a serious rabbit hole here.
There’s a corner of Japanese YouTube that is obsessed with this kind of restoration.
Imagine knives pulled out of the wreckage of Odysseus‘s ship, restored to a sharpness that could slice an atom. Hours of viewing ahead :)

Understood .

I live in Centro America in the 1970's and did a lot of repair like this although I think this one is junk ~ the can shaft and roller bearing alone cannot be expected to last in any actual use .

I avoid flood jobs like the plague .

Every time there's a hurricane in the South they clean up the submerged cars and dump them in buy here pay here lots in So. Cal....
