Hello all,
        A quick question regarding a dead fuel pump.  I got stranded the other 
day after the '68 B died.  I determined that the fuel pump had broken because 
no fuel came out of the line at the carbs when I turned on the ignition and 
there was no audible clicking.
        I ordered a new SU pump (negative ground) and installed it today.  It 
doesn't work either.  I checked the wiring and I get 12 volts ok.  I tried 
running the pump both with the out/in fuel lines connected and not.  Neither 
scenario resulted in the pump coming on.  Am I right in assuming that even if 
there was a clogged line the pump should still start up when the key is turned? 
 Does this mean that both the old pump and the new one are broken?  Should I 
send it back and get a third?
TIA.

Steve
