Good morning,
I have an issue whilst overhauling the mechanical fuel pump. I found a small slightly bent spring loose inside and I'm not sure where its supposed to go and there is not a replacement in the overhaul kit either. Any help gratefully received. Many thanks.
 
There is a small coil spring within each valve, so it probably came from one. Fuel pump kits that contain the two valves are available.
That is the first time I have heard of one of the springs failing, but it is not impossible.

I gave up on the valve in the blind hole - could not get it out. Hooking the diaphragm rod onto the lever can be a PITA. Make sure the little cups at the ends of the pin are tight in place - one of mine came out, the pin moved, stranded the car with very bad results. Eventually went electric.
