Accessory case removed
An idler gear with the lobe for the fuel pump came up on eBay (as well as a flywheel), so I needed to remove the accessory case from the engine to see if I needed it or not. Mahlon at Mattituck wasn't sure if the D2J had the right gear. Pulled the mags/oil filter/vacuum pump off and then popped off the case itself. It was all very easy. Between the paint and gaskets, the case was stuck on but I managed to get it off without too much trouble.
I do need the gear, the gear in it does not have the lobe to drive a fuel pump. With the case off, I got a better look inside... and all looks well. Somewhat of a relief. I need to pull the cylinders off to look at them.
