<html><body>Rory- Rapid pulsing is air- if no fuel in the tank or plugged line it will pulse rapidly but keep doing that until it finds fuel. Check the level in the float bowls-if full- fuel pump will not pulse. Each time you turn the key on, the pump may give one click and stop if normal. As soon as there is a fuel demand the pump should click in a rhythmic, not rapid mode.<div><br></div><div>If you now have no response from the pump it is possible that the points are stuck or capacitor has fried. That will require removal of the pump per the workshop book and adjust or fix problem.<br><br>Set the points throw over with an energized pump following the procedure in the service manual. Good luck, Hank<br><div class="reply-new-signature"></div><p>-----------------------------------------</p>From: "Ricchardd Mayor" <boyracer466@gmail.com><br>To: "Rory Janes"<br>Cc: healeys@autox.team.net<br>Sent: Sunday September 11 2022 3:44:25PM<br>Subject: Re: [Healeys] fuel pump<br><br>
Sounds like the fuel pumped worked as it should. The clicking
means it’s pumping. When the fuel line is fully pressurized,
the pump stops pumping (clicking).

<div style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;margin:0px;line-height:1.1;">Here is a fuel pump question for a BJ8 3000 MK3:</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;margin:0px;line-height:1.1;">After sitting for several months we started -
cleaned up the car, then after washing the next start attempt
seemed</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;margin:0px;line-height:1.1;">like it was fuel starved. The usual click of the fuel pump
then pulsed very rapidly for a few seconds - then stopped.</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;margin:0px;line-height:1.1;">Any ideas?</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;margin:0px;line-height:1.1;">Thanks</div>
