Hi, Steve. You said you checked for 12 volts, but did you make sure the
pump was grounded?

> 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.
