Have you contacted Continental? I have found that their technicians can really help.

Was not aware they were able to offer help. We're pretty confident that rear pump is not trustworthy at this point, so we're sending it out regardless. But no guarantee that all will go well after replacement, so I'll definitely keep that in mind.

Thanks for the tip.

you might find this AvWeb article interesting (this is focused on the 360 engine whereas the prior takes in all manner of injected continentals):

Thought I'd follow up on this.

Fuel pump and distributor were rebuilt. Though only 100 hours on that engine, that clock was reset about 15 years ago. Am told that diaphragms can stiffen up over that length of time, especially with low use. The fuel distributor was a preemptive strike based on similar concerns.

Started easily and ran very well after.
