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
