<div dir="ltr">Listers,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have the standard SU fuel pump on my 66 BJ8.  It was rebuilt several years ago and the car ran with the pump with no problems.  </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The car has been sitting for about 8 months now and the pump will not run.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have tried smacking the pump with a rubber hammer but no joy.  Is there another way to get the pump started without removing it and opening it up?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As always, thanks in advance for your help.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
