My Lycoming O-360 engine came with a cover plate covering the hole where the fuel pump goes (no fuel pump on engine) I took off the plate to install the pump and it appears that there is no plunger installed. I turned the engine over 1/2 and then 1 full rotation and never saw the plunger, but I do see there the plunger goes.
Is it likely that there is no plunger in my engine? Or would it have to be installed for the engine to work correctly? I just want to make sure I'm not missing something obvious. I bought it used/rebuilt.
