just installed a 1938, 60 hp and when idling i'm hearing an intermittent squeaking/squawking sound. is it possible that the fuel pump is acting up. perhaps a dry diaphragm!

Check to see if the rubbing blocks on the points are lubricated. It is surprising how much noise they can make if dry.

when I listen, sounds like it's coming from the rear. in the fuel pump area.

When I had a 1937 60hp it was always the fan belt. Solved that with a light spray of WD-40.

I have never heard a squeak coming from the fuel pump. but I always pack the operating arm with a light grease. Use a screwdriver as a stethoscope to isolate the noise. Tom

The old saying about squeaks and rattles in old fords was,'be glad you have two parts close enough together to squeak and rattle".

Keith , I'll add to that with the old saying "if it ain't leakin' oil it's out of oil"
