When I refitted mine, the cam lobe must have been in position to operate the pump, as I got a reassuring push against the lever. I inserted the lever and kept it tight to the side of the crank case as I raised the pump and had to push against the spring pressure to start the nuts. It strikes me that it would be good to check the cam position to ensure the pump lobe is pushing the lever. The danger of getting the lever the wrong side of the cam is evident.
Also worth noting that if you buy a new replacement pump, you may need to change the spring from your old one, or suffer the dripping petrol issue regularly raised here.
