<DIV><FONT size=2>You need to check the electrical connections first, right on
the 12v and earth terminals making sure there is 12v with the ignition on.
If not then that is the cause not the pump.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you see 12v then quite possibly the points have developed a spike
and pit, and stuck together. When this happens there is a single click
when you turn on the ignition, and another when you turn it off.
Relatively easy to clean them up and check the adjustment, which may involve
removing the pump chamber from the solenoid body. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Don't dismantle any further, and don't replace the diaphragm if it doesn't
need it, replacement parts are often not as good as the originals and sometimes
don't even fit properly. If the diaphragm were faulty the pump would be
leaking fuel.</DIV>
