Hi Daniel,

Happy New Year!  Hope you're doing well and avoiding the virus.  How did you make out with Samco?

So, this week is busy but next week I should be able to drop by and talk hoses (Unless it rains all week - I'll be walking).

I don't prices will be much more than a few years ago for hoses but I think postage prices have jumped up a couple of times.  David gets a small commission on his hoses to cover his initial costs and I get a little on mine.  I did hit the 100 hose break-even figure for my tooling costs but paid for my own hoses!.

I went to In N Out for lunch today in my 1969 MGB GT.? 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?Mike MacLean

My guess is the fuel pump is dying.  I wear my hat when I go to McDonald's here in Michigan, but it's not the same.  :-(

I still am gambling on a restriction not the pump.? ?Pumps either pump or they do not.? ?So if it ran but stopped moving fuel and then after sitting it works again....its dirt.?During the pumps "off" time the dirt has time to fall away from a screen.? ?Upon restarting the screen is partially clear and slowly what ever dirt that in residence gets drawn back into the screen.? ?Cloggs up again and the cycle starts over again.? ?Rinse-repete....? Well the filtering device is gathering up just enough dirt to slow fuel flow and obviously lean the car out to the point it quits.? ?Ya gotta find the restriction that's screwing up your fuel flow.ChuckSent from my LG Mobile

Mike,

I had a Triumph Herald that acted like you describe.

It would occasionally suck air thru a pinhole in the fuel line between the
tank and the pump.   It was a metal fuel line that was rusted just enough
for a pinhole to form.  The pinhole was at a point in the line that was
above the fuel tank, so it did not leak fuel.   The  pump was mechanical
and would not re-prime itself.  I would  blow into the fuel filler until I
pushed enough fuel to the front of the car to prime the pump and restart
the engine.......  I was 16 years old and knew nothing about British
cars......  (Still don't).

I had another British car that would occasionally act the same way.  It
turned out,  the vented fuel cap had been blocked with rust and the car
would stop running after a short drive if the tank was near full.  It took
me a while to find the problem, but the best hint was, the more fuel that
was in the tank the shorter the distance the car would travel before
stopping.  The more air that was in the tank, the longer it took for the
fuel to stop flowing.

How often does it act like this?   I seem to remember you having a problem
like this a short time ago????

I had a fuel feed problem with my Bugeye in the recent past.? I am solving that with a new fuel pump.? Now to the MG.? The fuel pump running furiously like the tank is empty never happened when I got the car 7 months ago.? It is a recent development.? ?I really need to get under the car and look around.? I'm just whistling in the wind at this point.? In the next few days I'll get the car up on my hydraulic scissor jacks and start the inspection.? I will let everyone know what I find.?

I'm with the clogged filter diagnosis.  My experience with a pin hole in
the fuel line (rubbed by the handbrake rod) was that I'd get fuel
starvation at high rpm/high speed.

My vapour lock experiences sound just like you recent problem except the
pump speed was normal, so I'm still in favour of clogging.

Thanks for the update Daniel.  No rush on hoses, I was just curious.  Stay well.

 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.

 #yiv6303893106 p{margin:0;}Hi Mike,
Please let us know what the problem / solution is after your examination. I don't know about any-one else but I would really like to know.




I wouldn't jump towards the blocked pickup if only because at a low speed fuel suction should be less than it is on the drive home. I take it you have a standard SU pump mounted in the normal under 'rear seat' position. If you have that would lean me further towards the fuel vaporization in the pump or pipework leading to it. 


Best of luck in searching,

Subject: Re: Fuel pump

I think you have the most thoughtful explanation so far. I will be under the car in the next few days and check for a leak in the fuel line or it's proximity to the exhaust. After it finally started the car ran normally all the way home. I doubt it was the diaphragm. Clogged pickup or vaporized fuel is more likely. Thanks for that.Mike M

Let us consider this as the problem you experience rather than something at which we can throw random ideas (what is the first thing I do - throw in a random idea!) or past histories of different problems. If you are sat with the engine idling or with minimal use when inching forwards, the pump ticking should slow considerably.

Your wonderful description of the pump 'running furiously' suggests racing rather than running fast and that means no liquid fuel is in there. The pump will only race when it has no fuel inside it as the viscosity of the liquid stops it. If it is filling empty carbs or trying to compress a vaporized fuel line forward of the pump it will speed up but not race as there is fuel stopping the diaphragms from moving too quickly/racing. If it slowly builds up to racing it may suggest the fuel level in the pump is lowering as liquid fuel is pumped out and/or that that liquid fuel has stopped getting to the pump.

Possible reason: 

It can race if the fuel in the pump or the line between tank and pump has vaporized - the viscosity of the liquid fuel has gone leaving a gas behind. Is the exhaust pipe underneath it? You had a warm up run before you reached the slow moving line, exhaust heat is high. There is no air flow under the car to cool it down, radiated and convected heat is heating up things near to the exhaust - but I am presuming your exhaust runs in the proximity of the pump. But I'll bet the slow moving line you were in sheltered you from any ground level side drafts to allow cooler air to reach under the car and the pump. 





Other possible reasons:

Tank side fuel line with a pinhole allowing occasional air to get in. I would have thought rather unlikely. A damp patch around the fuel line may be evident.

Filler cap vent blocked. Reasonably common. 

Filter in tank gets blocked. Has the tank has been relined with with a 'slosh liquid' and filter not kept clear? A build up of original crud may be not enough.

Some pumps have a mesh filter on the pump side of the inlet union. 

Flexible pipe kinked or blocked. Unlikely as liquid fuel loss is at low speed.

Split pump diaphragm. Why should it mend as the motor runs at normal speed again? 




What the solution is without have a good 'look at' session I don't know. That it came in when fuel demand is at its lowest, ie the car isn't moving, could well be the key clue. Looking at something between the fuel in the tank and the pump is indicated, be it exhaust pipe heat or whatever..... 




Hope it helps.

    I need 1 of this shape black plastic interior door pull handle for the Midget.? ?I guess there are two difrent ones (early & late?)?? ?I need one that has some depressions cast into it running the length of of the curved part of the handle.? I have one but someone must have broke off the pins it moves on & drilled through the handle and put long small machine screws through it with nuts.? ?I can just see Mary Anne grabbing the door pull and getting snagged on one of the screws...I have the other version which is cast smooth and has slightly bigger pins which it mounts in the chrome ends.? ?Yes there are 2 difrent chrome end mounts.? ?Does anyone have one of these handles with the ribs cast into it?? Please?? ?They look identical until you really look at the 2 difrent ones side by side.Thank you!ChuckSent from my LG Mobile

List,

Does anyone have a link for stolen cars in the south eastern Michigan area
"Detroit"?

PLEASE SHARE!


Today my nephews 2018 Grey Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, Virginia plates
TRAQHWK, was stolen from his driveway, Fraser, MI. Car is deceased military
father's & contains all his belongings. His father passed last week.


Car not important the belongings are.


Personal property to look for, military medals, the flag flown over the
pentagon (with certificate) original signed pentagon memorial artwork, his
naval uniform, lots of photo albums, military challenge coins and a small
safe that were in the vehicle. These could be anywhere between here and
Detroit as there were possible sightings around French Rd, Livernois and
Warren.


Any other groups to post to let me know please share.
Linda

Ok long timers - I saw this on Facebook marketplace. Who remembers Amy Turner and Healium, her blue Bugeye that was used for this model? Husband was Paul, IIRC. Good times back then. I will always remember Frank telling the story of he and Joe Meccia visiting her and getting accustomed to southern fried everything.

Hi Ron,

You mean these?? Attached.? I noticed yours have "Minilite" type 
wheels.? Don't have that one will have to look around for one. I do 
remember Amy and how much fun we had.? She was a bit miffed when she 
found out they used the later model Spridget front bumper!? Great 
memories.? Thanks for that.

Amy now lives in Las Vegas.  We had dinner together about 5 years ago.  She?s also part of a Bull Dog breed rescue group.  She conned me into transporting a few of these incredible pups.  I?ll be in Vegas on the 11th.  I?ll call her to say hi.

OMG, That is a waybegone memory. And yes, I do recall Amy and the whole discussion about that model.  There were folks that said it wasn?t accurate enough, and those that said it should never be done, and those that said MORE.
Now I am of two minds, Wish I had one, and Where in the F would I put it, noiw that I live in an RV,

Thanks for the memory pull!

Hi Ron,

You mean these?? Attached.? I noticed yours have "Minilite" type 
wheels.? Don't have that one will have to look around for one. I do 
remember Amy and how much fun we had.? She was a bit miffed when she 
found out they used the later model Spridget front bumper!? Great 
memories.? Thanks for that.
