Fuel pump

Steve,
I have similar ticking noise, I’ve had it since day one of getting to boat In 2009 on 50hrs, I now have 2520Hrs of faultless Recreational running. This was achieved I’m sure with the advice given from Tony, Paul Foulston in the early days via BD

I have done valve lash several times throughout, but always thought it was a normal noise coming from the fuel pump.

Could I ask you to Please close the thread On any findings, as I and others are interested, I hope my ticking is normal and haven’t been letting this ride for such a long time.

Best of luck
Regards
Paul
