Nipped out to Felix as soon as it looked reasonable earlier. Had to take the WindBreak, T-Bar, Engine cover, Fuel pump plate & air filter/pipe off - deep joy! So many 10mm bolts!
Anyway I sprayed a touch of carb cleaner in the throttle body and he fired up, then immediately died... Hmmm fuel pump - surely not?!
Pulled off the connector and popped my multi-meter across the power wires, turned on the ignition and got 12v.. listened for the reassuring buzz when it first primes and nothing. Weirdly there was a bit of fuel in the upper fuel line when I disconnected the (orange?) push fit connector. I popped a bottle over the pipe and turned on the ignition again and nothing pumped out. I am guessing it should? So I think his fuel pump has given up the ghost?
I had one in the shed, from Fleur (my Amaranth F that died many years ago), grabbed it and BUGGER - it's got a different plug! I suppose the Lucas and Pektron cars have different ones?
Is there a way to test the pump other than pulling off that pipe and seeing fuel? I pushed the fuel cut-off switch just in case it was that but I am assuming not as there was 12v at the pump wires?
Help appreciated before I go and look for a pump! (unless I can splice the old style plug on? Pretty sure I have a loom that will have the correct plug in the shed.
