On my 1600cc. Yet the one I´m intending to buy doesn´t "seem" to have that piercing-pin with the C-clip? Possible future issues?
Come to Think about it - Looking at my old pump, it doesn´t seem to have a pin aswell. Just a hexagon screw.

That could be an owner-added screw to fix a pivot rod issue.

Looks like the pivot pin is locked in by the chrome housing. Grease it and run it. Check psi. Good to go .

there are a hundred other things on that engine that will give you "future issues" before any fuel pump ever will.
Roll it

Anytime you need a pep talk or a confidence boost, just come right on here 
Your old pump looks like it's a serviceable one. If u take the top off it there might be a furked o-ring or bust membrane u could maybe replace.
I think most of the pumps sold now are a bit of a gamble. Folks say the Brosol ones are good. I still have my Pierburg, and another Italian-make one I bought. But what u gotta do is get the right one. It depends on the size of your rod.  100something ish mm for alternator rod and different 100something-ish for generator rod. Mismatched pump and rod is bad news.

Oh I Always come here for for a confidence-boost  If someone could come over and hold my hand when I swap Components, that would be great too. But I guess it´s too much to ask when one lives in Cold Sweden haha.
It´s a generetor rod so I should be able to use the old one.
