Check the ground at the pump, if it is OK then tap the pump with a hammer
(lightly)
Remember service tool 18G-101....hammer!
Safty tip.
Never work on a fuel system with a regular drop light. I have heard of 2 near
deaths and the lose of classic cars due to broken incandesant light bulbs
starting gas spills on fire.
If you need a light, use either a battery powered flashlight or a low voltage
flouresent drop light.
