I would check the floats in your carburetors. They have a tendency to sink and the fuel pump then keeps running. This can be dangerous as the fuel can overflow. I have a float with petrol in it in my garage from 10 years ago.Jeff

Listers,
This one has really got me stumped. A couple weeks ago went on a 40 or so mile ride. Car ran great. No probs. At one point I was stopped and I could hear the fuel pump clicking away, 3-4 clicks per second. This was true whether at idle or higher rpm. I knew that normally at idle there was an occasional click.
Once back home I restarted the car and same thing. Then over several days I attempted to fix the prob. A different pump gave the same results. I replaced the filter and still same thing. Oh BTW there was no fuel underneath as is the case when a float needle is stuck and fuel comes out the overflow. No fuel shows up anywhere.
Why does the pump continue to click so fast????? Why does it NOT slow to an occasional click????? What is the fix???? I am flustered.
Keith

Sounds like you have an air leak on the intake side of the pump. We
had a similar problem on our BN2; although the clicking was more
erratic--sometimes normal, sometimes clicking like mad. We checked
everything; finally my dad cut the outlet tube out of the used tank we'd
installed and found a small hole in the pickup tube by where the tube
was soldered to the top of the tank. Dad deduced that the acid used in
the flux used to solder the tube to the tank ate the hole in the tube.
Try running an inlet tube into a bucket of gas--obvious precautions
required--if that helps you've found the culprit; if not, the leak is
elsewhere on the intake side.

Seems the the loose screw holding down the condenser was the most recent
solution. Car ran great on my 50 mile RT to work today. So the toals: two
bad Moss Lucas condensers, one poor roadside instalation of an old Lucas
condenser. Hope I can go further than 200 miles. Rains are coming, so I
might have to wait to drive that far.

Inside the fuel pump are two one-way valves. They are plastic discs (Moss,
Key #6 in the diagram. N/A). One of them could be defective allowing
gasoline to circulate through the inside of the pump. I had the problem on
a trip many years ago. I solved it at the time by cutting a disc out of the
plastic from a blister pack of something. It worked and is probably still
in my back-up pump that I carry.

The pump speeds up like that from lack of fuel.? You might have something blocking the pickup in the tank.Mike MacLean56 BN260 AN5

The only thing I can think of is one of the reed valves is broken (there are two). How you could have two pumps doing the same thing is odd. Where did the replacement pump come from? Was it removed for the same reason in the past?

Keith,
Check the suction line from tank to pump. The pump is probably sucking air. This is the reason for the fast clicking.

The noise means you are sucking air on the tank side of the fuel pump.
Could be due to a loose connection or possibly a blockage caused by debris
in the line. Is it an old tank? has it ever been re-lined?

Keith,
Which SU fuel pump are we taking about? The one way valve discs Len
mentioned can be plastic or metal; depends on the model.
The pump will run faster than normal when there's a leak in the system.
It can be on the inlet, outlet, or internal.
As Bob said, if the pump stops clicking when sucking fuel from a bucket,
then you can rule out the internal and outlet leaks.
You checked the carb throats - they're dry?
Cheers,
Bob Haskell

It does seem likely that you have an air leak on the inlet side (tank to
pump).
A leak on the outlet side would be altogether wetter, messier and smellier.
You can do quite a simple test by:-
diverting the fuel from the carbs into a container
and sealing up your tank's filler pipe ie where you pump in the fuel. Use a
plastic bag and duct tape or similar effective bodge. If you manage to make
a good seal, you should hear the pump do its normal clickety click when you
switch on the ignition and then maintain its new/wrong rapid clicking. Once
it has done its best to create a vacuum in the tank, it would normally slow
down and stop. If there is an air leak, the clicking will continue and you
may be able to find it by, say, listening through a piece of garden hose run
around the pipework and connections.
Worked for me. Start at the most obvious which is the banjo connections.
They're brass and suffer from overzealous, ham fisted POs. May be just a
little loose or needing a little PTFE tape.....

Now that I seem to have sorted the ignition issue I have another problem.
After driving the car for a while and I stop at a light, my car begins to
drop rpms and will then die if I do not blip the gas. Rebuilt carb, and
distributor, new plugs and ignition bits. Could a manifold leak cause this?
3 AM thoughts on the problem. I'm going to try the brake fluid spray on the
manifold trick to see if the engine changes sounds while idling.

Hello,
Does anyone know what size allen wrench the plug on the left side
of the 100-4 engine is?
I have a leak and need to change the gasket. I see Moss does have the
gasket.

I need to "freeze" a stud to remove it. I understand that it can be done with nitrus oxide and I'm not sure where a small quantity of it can be obtained (like a spray paint can size). Dry ice is too difficult to use as it needs to be applied in the vertical position. Any one have any thoughts?

Don't think I'd spray brake fluid on the manifold ... could get messy (and DoT5 isn't flammable). Propane from an (unlit) torch, maybe?

Subject: [Healeys] car dies at idle
Now that I seem to have sorted the ignition issue I have another problem. After driving the car for a while and I stop at a light, my car begins to drop rpms and will then die if I do not blip the gas. Rebuilt carb, and distributor, new plugs and ignition bits. Could a manifold leak cause this? 3 AM thoughts on the problem. I'm going to try the brake fluid spray on the manifold trick to see if the engine changes sounds while idling.

Dot 5 is silicone ... doesn't strip paint, but you don't want any silicone product--Armorall, etc.--anywhere near paint if there's a chance you might want to repaint someday (unless you're going for the 'fisheye effect').
