One thing about the SU type of fuel pump which is often misunderstood is what happens to the pump in the event that the inlet becomes blocked. In that situation the low pressure on the inlet side of the diaphragm prevents the armature from rising and the points from opening.  This means that current continues to pass through the coil until sufficient fuel passes into the pump through the blockage to allow the diaphragm to rise and the points to open. This causes the coil to overheat and become weakened.
If you are trying to rebuild a pump and the "tick, tick" seems rather anemic it is likely that a damaged and weakened coil is very the cause.
Hopefully this will save people from wasting time in this situation.

Pulling out the pump and checking on the bench might be in order.

As to the weather, it's just getting to be driving season here in the desert. :)

Subject: [Healeys] Fuel pump

Listers,

I have the standard SU fuel pump on my 66 BJ8.  It was rebuilt several years ago and the car ran with the pump with no problems.

The car has been sitting for about 8 months now and the pump will not run.

I have tried smacking the pump with a rubber hammer but no joy.  Is there another way to get the pump started without removing it and opening it up?

As always, thanks in advance for your help.

Fred

66 BJ8

Listers,

Anyone know what the thread size is for the overdrive 3rd/4th gear 
switch on the center shift gearbox?? Seems to be 5/8"-13 TPI.

Thanks Ray  it seems that I have been hacked.
I thwarted an attemped scam related to an ad that I have on the AHCA website market place and it seems that this hack is connected with that scam.
Please proceed carefully as Ray describes.
