Has anyone run into situation with interfence between the fuel pump fitting and prop gov pad? I have a basic Mattituck O-360 constant speed engine configured for a fixed pitch. The typical straight fitting could not be used because the hose fitting would interfere with gov pad - scrapped the straight fitting and ordered 45deg fitting. Problem is I installed the engine before the fitting arrived and now find out the 45 deg fitting interferes as well. No real interest in trying a 90deg fitting since already have proper length hoses.
Several posts out there on how ugly it is to remove/install fuel pump with engine hung and just noticed a post yesterday with pictures of how ugly it is to remove the diaphram, so I am short on an easy way to deal with this..
Anyone know if its possible to remove 1 of the fuel pump bolts and slightly tilt the pump enough to get the fitting started (or is the risk of pin dropping off too high for this approach??) Picture below of the problem.
Thanks - Kevin
