<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">After a cursory inspection today I found a non SU type electric pump. Looks like a large Facet type, but I can't be sure. I also found that there are no filters anywhere between the tank to the Weber. I removed the cylindrical mesh filter in the Weber and it was absolutely clean. So I started it up cold and for the first time right after start it idled a little over 500 rpm. Usually with the jets (probably wrong ones) in the Weber startups have not been under 1000 rpm at idle in the past. The pump was clicking away as normal. It has rubber type fuel hose on either side of the pump which should not present a problem.Don't want to, but might have to drop the fuel tank and have a look see.<br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Mike MacLean<br></div><div><br></div>

<div dir="ltr"><span> Not a Healey, but my 69 MGB GT is related in operation. I went to In N Out for lunch today in my MG. The line was very long so I had to inch forward and was stopped numerous times for a few minutes in between. The fuel pump started
pumping furiously like I was running out of gas while stopped halfway through the line. The car was still running. I got up to the first window to pay and the idle dropped to less than 500 rpm. In a minute or so later the engine just quit. There is over
a half tank of gas in the car. I tried starting it several times, but it would just fire and die. After several attempts the car started again, all the while the fuel pump was going like mad. After getting out of the line the fuel pump slowed down like
normal and you did not hear it after what I assume was a full float bowl. No issues going home the 4 or 5 miles. Does that sound like my fuel pump is going out or the tank pickup is clogged? It has been doing this "empty tank like" pumping fast for a while,
but the car has run normal up to now.<br clear="none">
