[Spridgets] Brand new Facet fuel pump problem, no power.

Hi Lin
 
Is this a cube Facet or the cylindrical body pump?  I doubt your  original 
pump is dead any more than the new one is.  Both old and new Facet  
cylindrical body pumps are noisy.  I've just replaced one on my Sprite as  it seemed 
to be working harder than I expected it to at idle and just didn't  sound 
the same as it did a few months back.  I tested the output with a  pressure 
gauge and it struggled to make 3 psi when wholly unregulated which is  ok 
because the 45 DCOE Weber on my carb needs less, but indicated it was  worn.  I 
changed it for a new one which sounded better and unregulated made  lots 
more pressure.  
 
What I would to  test both pumps is simply use some jumper leads from  a 
good battery to the pump connections.  A new pump is greased and will  'tick', 
whereas be careful with the old pump as it may spray fuel.
 
Final thoughts, having spoken to Facet recently, is that there are a lot  
cheap crap copies of their product, but I think your problem will be  wiring.
 
Regards
 
 
Daniel

I know  my old 2 yr old Facet pump is dead because it no longer makes any 
noise  which it always does when I turn the key prior to  starting.
