I used to own a number of Samurai's, and had the mechanical fuel pumps go bad a couple times. But not the way you'd expect: It would still pump fuel, but I'd have engine oil leak out of the tube that came out of the pump and run down the back side of the engine and over the bell housing. It seemed to be the diaphragm would spring a leak, at least that's what I think it was. And since the mechanical fuel pump was bolted to the passenger side of the head near the back of the engine is powered by a rod that gets driven off the camshaft, if there is an internal fault in the pump you can end up running low on oil! I think it is just something that happens..no big deal, not hard to replace. Good luck!

On the inside of a 1986 suzuki samurai fuel pump what is the pin for?

I am guessing the pin being referred to is the fuel pump rod that rides on the cam lobe and creates the in and out motion required to activate the fuel pump lever that pushes on the diaphragm of the fuel pump to make it work.
