    Optimax VST Parts

    Looking for the best place to order online parts for a VST. I plan on cleaning mine and my mechanic said I might as well replace the screen (under the HP fuel pump I believe) and the internal fuel pumps while open. Or is it better to just send it off somewhere for a cleaning and rebuild? Anything else I should be thinking about? Thanks in advance!

    Moving your post to the 3L Forum- be sure to update with the Engine Serial Number as it's required.

    What screen and which fuel pump did the "mechanic" tell you to replace? Probably better off if that's what you were told....

    When you narrow down what you actually need (probably a sleeve and perhaps a needle), plus a few clamps, see Rhonda's post, pinned at the top of the 3L Forum. She can set you up with whatever you need.
