It never ends, does it? :)
I had the B out for a spin yesterday and it died at the end of my street
(after running for about an hour).
A quick investigation revealed no fuel in the fuel filter. A-ha! (Gas
just full from fill-up).
I got it towed home (did you know a Toyota Tercel can tow an MG???)
Anyway, I took it off and hit it with the battery charger just to check
it and no clicky clicky.
So, I tore it apart (figuring I can't make it any worse), being careful
to keep all the gaskets, etc intact. Everything looked ok. I put it
back together and cleaned the outside terminal. Tried it again with the
battyer charger and it worked (or seemed to). I got it all hooked up
back on the car and no joy... Now I can hear it running, but still no
fuel.
I checked as advised in Haynes and it's not pumping fuel or air... It's
just making noise...
So, is there something I might have done to it that I can un-do? Things
to check? Do you need to prime it somehow? Or should I bite the bullet
and put a new fuel pump on the credit card?
Thanks,
Chris
