Gary,
I doubt that the heat had anything to do with it. You indicate that it happ=
ened near the end of your run, like in the last 15-20 minutes or the last c=
ouple of minutes?
Have you tried it again, since shutting it off?
Usually the pump makes noise when running out of fuel, but you said it did =
not miss a beat, so we can rule that out.

Subject: [Healeys] Tapitty tapping of Fuel Pump
Yesterday I took my Healey BN& out for its first good run of the season -- =
75 miles of southern Oregon backroads -- with our local Rogue Euro Car Grou=
p. Everything was terrific from start to finish. Car started on the first p=
ush of the button after sitting for six weeks, ran smoothly from start to f=
inish, never faltered in restarts, everything nominal.
Except that, towards the end of the run on a pretty hot day (in mid 90s tho=
ugh the car never ran warm all day) as I was cruising along about 40 mph, t=
he fuel pump started tapping at a high rate of speed and pretty continuousl=
y -- certain enough so I could hear it behind me. I have a standard origina=
l-spec points-style fuel pump, purchased new from Moss about 10 years ago a=
nd running without any issues every since.
Any thoughts from anyone -- could it just have been the heat? As noted, the=
car never missed a beat, so fuel was getting through the carbs smoothly at=
all times.
Anyone?
Gary Anderson
