FUEL PUMP - WHERE CAN I GET ONE?

[Dylan1970]

Hi all,
I'm Looking for a new fuel pump, where is the best place I can get one from pretty soon, plus the copper fuel pipe, battery clamp?

Cheers [frame][/frame]

You can get from many minor suppliers here in the uk, I personally stick with ESM.

Try cleaning up the old one first (start with the contacts), as new ones are not as good as the originals, even if they are in the same state as yours.

Also check the connecting wires are nice and bright, hopefully save you the cost of a new pump.

Ok Thanks for the info, will give it a go if nothing happens after cleaning is there a differance in the fuel pumps when buying new?

[bmcecosse]

Yes - avoid avoid avoid the electronic ones...... Here's a pump on ebay... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Morris-Minor- ... 416712eacc

[Dylan1970]

Is this one on ebay the one I need to get? as the old one is a no go and needs to be replaced.

[bmcecosse]

Yes - but what's wrong with the old one? Here's another one..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USED-12V-SU-F ... 3a7667061c and another...... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SU-FUEL-PUMP- ... 2a1f33b220

The old one is not pumping the fuel, Ive tried cleaning it and still not working, any other ideas?

[bmcecosse]

Clean and reset the points.

[Dylan1970]

Reset the points is that a easy job or is it fiddley?

[JOWETTJAVELIN]

You need to take the black plastic end cap off the pump and you will see some electrical gubbins - take some coarse paper, put it between the points and rub it so it cleans the surfaces.

Seriously - I doubt you need to buy a new pump.

[Dylan1970]

Okey Dokey will give it a go tonight.

Cheers

[Dylan1970]

I have tried cleaning the points, and put back on the car and still nothing, no ticking and not pumping any fuel to the carb, so I think this one has had it. Looks like a new one is on the cards.

[bmcecosse]

Is there power to the pump?

[Dylan1970]

Not sure, how will I be able to find out, all I know is that there are 2 earth cables and one white cable, all other electrics work on the car

[bmcecosse]

Check with a meter - or a test lamp. The pump can be stripped down and rebuilt if it's seized. It's in the workshop manual.....do you have access to one ?

[Dylan1970]

I will try and get one the weekend and then I will have a go at stripping it down and take it from there.

If you let me know your email address (by PM) I will scan the appropriate pages from the manual and email them to you.

Agreed! You may also be able to revive the old pump with a new set of points- much cheaper than a whole new pump.

Just like to thank everyone for their help as I have taken the fuel pump to bits and gave it a good clean and it seems to be working perfect....... just need to put on the car tommorrow and see what happens fingers crossed.
