[Mgs] MGA fuel pump problem

[Paul Hunt]

I did say the points oxidise on the shelf, and to clean them before 
rejecting the pump.  But if the pump is taking *current* then the points 
aren't oxidised, and either they are stuck together, the adjustment is 
incorrect i.e. the diaphragm isn't moving far enough to 'throw them over', 
or the diaphragm itself is stuck.  However I suspect that what you mean is 
you have *voltage* at the pump (did you check between the pump spade and the 
pump body?  If you check between the pump spade and the car body the pump 
ground could be faulty) as it is much more likely that the points will be 
oxidised on multiple pumps.
