Burlen is a good source for fuel pumps and repair kits.

Subject: [Healeys] Fuel pump
Listers,
I was out for a long drive in the mountains this afternoon and on an uphill
grade, the car lost power and as I pulled over on a pull off, the engine
died. I sat in the car for a couple of minutes trying to restart it. I
waited until traffic was past me and turned the key but did not hear the
ticking of the fuel pump. I waited several minutes, tried again but no
luck.
I called AAA and they picked me and the car up for the ride home. At home,
off the flatbed, still no ticking. So, I am thinking the fuel pump is dead.
Looking at the Moss site, they list an early and a late BJ8 pump. The Moss
tech couldn't tell me which I am. My car number is 29009. Am I an early or
late pump? Also, if I switch to the double ended pump, do both ends work at
the same time or is one end a backup for the other end? If one end failed
would the other end provide fuel in the normal manner and save me?
Should I simply go with whichever single pump is for my car and then install
a backup pump?
Just as an important aside, AAA said covid regulations prohibited me from
riding in the tow truck cab with the driver. I was somewhat amazed at this
but AAA offered to transfer me to the nearest car rental place as a service.
I made my call but my ride didn't arrive before the truck driver (she was in
the middle of a haircut so you know where that got me). The driver was very
nice about the whole thing and did allow me in the cab with him (I wore my
mask).
I will start investigating the source of the pump problem tomorrow.
Thanks for all input on this one,
Fred
66 BJ8 (new or late)
