<div style="font-size: 10pt;"><div dir="auto">An ancient problem.</div><div dir="auto">While the pump is new that does not mean it may be removed from the list of suspects. I have 3 or 4 of the little cube looking fuel pumps. All but 1 were aquired because I was told it runs but does not pump fuel " some times"! And indeed that 1 pump has something wrong with it. And based upon the external conditions I am led to believe they are near new. Not corroded , rusty or any discoloration. The other pumps are in my cars working flawlessly. All that said , do not ignore the possibility of the pump , a bad ground or a intermittent conductivity problem in power to the pump as the culprit.</div><div dir="auto">In grounding I have gone to using a star washer between a ground wire terminal and the car body or frame to insure a positive metal to metal ground instead of relying upon the grounding bolt or screw threads. Also I have tried to not use crimp on connectors , instead , soldering them and heat shrink tubing to shield the bare part of the soldered terminal. While some of this borders on annoying tedium , it circumvents some real head scratching diagnostics down the road.</div><div dir="auto">Chuck</div><div dir="auto">After owning the same bugeye since 1974 , I have made a LOT of mistakes that have taught me over & over to just do it right...</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div><div dir="auto" style="font-size:9pt;"><i>Sent from my LG Mobile</i></div></div></div>
