No, you need to replace that. Bosch makes the replacement, looks nothing like your white pump. The new version is a small black cylinder, you just push it down 50+ times to prime the injection pump. It is spring loaded, and you don't unscrew it or anything, just push it down repeatedly.

so i'd love to get it back in good reliable shape. i have hope in this engine since the noise is intermittent.

We'll get you there, ask a lot of questions here, read up using the forum search function. Get a copy of the factory service manual on CD or better yet in paper.
