Not a Healey, but my 69 MGB GT is related in operation. I went to =
In N Out for lunch today in my MG. The line was very long so I had to =
inch forward and was stopped numerous times for a few minutes in =
between. The fuel pump started pumping furiously like I was running out =
of gas while stopped halfway through the line. The car was still =
running. I got up to the first window to pay and the idle dropped to =
less than 500 rpm. In a minute or so later the engine just quit. There =
is over a half tank of gas in the car. I tried starting it several =
times, but it would just fire and die. After several attempts the car =
started again, all the while the fuel pump was going like mad. After =
getting out of the line the fuel pump slowed down like normal and you =
did not hear it after what I assume was a full float bowl. No issues =
going home the 4 or 5 miles. Does that sound like my fuel pump is going =
out or the tank pickup is clogged? It has been doing this "empty tank =
like" pumping fast for a while, but the car has run normal up to now.
