Subject: [Healeys] Fuel pump

Listers,

I have the standard SU fuel pump on my 66 BJ8.  It was rebuilt several year=
s ago and the car ran with the pump with no problems.

The car has been sitting for about 8 months now and the pump will not run.

I have tried smacking the pump with a rubber hammer but no joy.  Is there a=
nother way to get the pump started without removing it and opening it up?

As always, thanks in advance for your help.

Fred

66 BJ8

Even if you got it running by tapping it, its only delaying what is
needed to be done.
I did this for a while until it failed, fortunately for me I didn't have to
do it on the side of the road or in the rain.

I installed two pumps with a cut off toggle switch, so it also works a a
anti theft deterant.

Are you sure it's the fault of the actual pump? Possibly an electrical
issue, or sediment in the tank, or other.

Pulling out the pump and checking on the bench might be in order.

As to the weather, it's just getting to be driving season here in the
desert. :)
