That would have been for the Dole primer pump. It picked fuel up from the main fuel line and injected it into the intake manifold (in the case of the M38A1: the head).

The primer lever on the pump usually works. Some pumps had the arm removed during rebuild, but there is nothing wrong with having it. Most guys don't know they are even there. Saves a lot of cranking after the vehicle has been sitting for an extended period, or if you ran out of fuel.

Rob,
I just ordered all 4 of the Canadian CDN2/3 manuals from Brian Ashbury..should be here sometime next week. I'll look in them to see what parts are needed to hook the hand pump primer back up on my jeep. Is there a supplier, that you know of, that might have the complete kit available?? Thanks
