IDK at this point.
You can access the Rack by removing the ADLA with the whole rectangular plate that it is attached to. Never done that but there is threads somewhere on that.

The other way to go is to remove the Vacuum Shutoff because it hooks onto the Rack. However, putting the Vacuum Shutoff in place wrong results in a runaway engine. So if you choose that route do some research on it.

I think you said the delivery valve was cruddy. What do you think was in it?

I am asking that because if the rack is sticking whatever crud is inside of the pump can be the rack is sticking.

If the rack is not sticking crud could be restricting the fuel Feed Holes in the Element Barrels. Or the Plunger could have gone up and the crud is holding them up and the springs are not bringing them back down.
