Are you sure the operating rod is not worn away to nowt? I used to have this problem now and again. A new pump was the only cure

It really is a manual pump then.
I assume you really mean mechanical  . Is it fitted to the engine it came with as there are different length pushrods.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Looks just like a roughly 2" length of valve stem and cutting a suitable length of valve stem worked fine for me when I converted an EFI pinto
to twin 40's.
