Hi All,
I am getting my 73 GT out of storage after about 8 years of idleness.
To make a long story short, I brought the car home and have started going
through the process of getting it ready to run/drive. On a good note, it
appears to have survived very well (no mice damage!) and every thing looks good
with the exception of a non-operable fuel pump. I've tried tapping on it and
checking power leads but couldn't get it to start. Now I have it on the bench.
The points look good, the armature/pivot throws over properly and is loose, it
seems to not be able to draw a magnet. When I put power to it nothing, no
humming, pumping etc. I've fooled around with the T-series types but not the
newer ones. It also has a small black condensor (it is an england market car)
under the bakelite cover. Is there a way of testing it?
Any ideas on where to start before I just tear into it willy-nilly?
It's an AUF-300 type.
TIA,
Alan Pfau
