[Healeys] I'm stumped

[Michael Salter]

It can be a bit of a pain to do but I would suggest making an adapter (I used
an old cap) that will allow you to apply about 3 p.s.i. to the fuel tank.
Apply the pressure and wait.
Eventually fuel will appear where there is a leak between the tank and the
pump.

BJ7 sat for 40 odd years. Fuel line from pump to carbs clear. Tried two new
pumps. One SU square body (tried two different bodies) . Replaced
steel/brass banjos to rubber hose with nipples and installed a facet LP
pump. Replaced fuel tank believing the pick up tube was rusted through on
old tank. Checked filler breather.

 Symptom: car runs for a couple miles and the pump stops pumping (looses
suction) However will pump a steady/adequate quantity when disconnected from
float bowls. Floats and level adjustment at spec. New needles and seat. Hot
or cold.. tried every fix know to man. 3 times at least..still no joy

 What is going on?
