Maybe one of the valves is sticking. The valves are just small thin
metal discs just behind the inlet and outlet couplings. Perhaps
cleaning them might help. I've heard of vapor lock problems in
warm whether, but I don't know if pump clicking is one of the
symptoms. Inceasant clicking could mean the pump is sucking air,
but I don't know how this could happen unless your out of gas.
