[Roadsters] Is it a bad fuel pump?

[Gordon Glasgow]

I had the same sputtering/dying experience once. It turned out the points
had come loose and closed down completely.

My SPL311 died in traffic today. It began to sputter and miss on one or two
cylinders and then just died. Since it was 102 degrees here today I assumed
it was vapor lock. I got it home via AAA, shot some ether into the carbs to
no avail. Then I unhooked one of the two carburetor fuel lines from the line
coming out of the fuel pump and cranked the engine. No fuel came out of the
line. Is my fuel pump shot or is this still a symptom of a vapor lock? Does
Nissan still stock fuel pumps for SPL311s? Or do I have to go to one of our
suppliers? I'm in a hurry on this since I can't get the car up my driveway;
it has to sit in the street until I can get it to a shop. Thanks for your
help.Regards, Michael Knorr, 1966 SPL311-03639
