I too am new to Sevens. One of the first jobs I had to do was remove the camshaft to replace a broken timing gear. This involved modifying the front bush in order to position the shaft correctly fore and aft and to set the endfloat for the new gear. I installed the fuel pump whilst the sump and gauze were off and noticed it is possible for the camshaft to end up quite a long way off having the lobes central to the followers and this meant the actuating lever for the fuel pump could end up perilously close to the edge of its cam lobe.
If you've left some of the broken lever on the sump gauze now is the opportunity to have a good look from below at the new pump arm as you install it afresh! Seeing what's going on certainly helped me to visualise things when swapping the pump out on another Seven.
