ok since the accident i havent been able to start tiny and i think ive narrowed it down to the pump, could someone give me some idea on how much the pumps are and what are possible reasons. |

WHat type of fuel pump is it (non solid state SU fuel pumps had points in them that need adjusting occasionally) , get under the back of tiny and give the pump a few hits with your hand while the ignition is on and see if it starts working , if it does look in a manual about adjusting them . |

About as much as saying you drive a Morris ..... Could be anything , see if it has SU written on it and if it is see if the top looks like plastic compared to the rest of it being metal , better still take a photo . If it isn't the points type of SU then you'll just be looking for a replacement fuel pump to suit a carb fed car , is tiny negative or positive earth ? Also run wires direct to the pump from the battery to definitively check if it is dead or there's a wiring fault somewhere . |

Check at the point where the pump is mounted, are the earth and positive connectors still connected? Is there power (11.5-12V) to the positive lead when using a multimeter when the ignition is on? - has a previous owner fused this wire, is the fuse OK? Most electric pumps are located under the petrol tank on the rear subframe. Occasionally someone has a bright idea of relocating them into the boot. Methinks a poke around with basic troubleshooting and a multimeter or one of those test lamp screwdriver thingies will be a good starting point. KB Is there a clicking sound when you turn on the ignition? - if you disconnect the carb fuel in pipe and run it into a jar. What happens when you turn on the ignition? Bleeding obvious question - is there fuel in the petrol tank? KB |
