Hi folks,
Thanks to John Nelson for pointing out an electronic fuel pump fr=
om
Pep Boys for $30. (that looks exactly like the one in the Moss catalog). =
Let me know if you want more details about the pump.
Anyway, I put it in and it seems to work just fine. Here's some
questions:
On turning just the ignition on, the old SU pump would beat for about 10
sec then stop. This electronic one just keeps on ticking away and doesn'=
t
stop. Is this normal?
Needless to say, I didn't bother reading the 2 page instructions that cam=
e
with the pump until after I had finished. It says someplace that " If th=
e
original pump is a combined fuel and vacuum pump then leave the pump in
place. Disconnect the fuel lines from the pump and attach them together.=
=
Do not remove the other vacuum lines" What does all that mean? There wa=
s
a hose (vacuum?) that was connected to the old SU. Is the SU a combined
fuel and vacuum pump?
The instructions also say to position the pump so that the output end is
uppermost. I hate to ask, but is that necessary? If so, I'll have crawl=
back under and reposition the bloody thing.
