Hi all,
I had a problem with my fuel pump causing it to "stop" all the time. When I'd hit it with the back of a screwdriver it would make the fast ticking sound again.
So I took the fuel pump off, opened it, readjusted the diaphram (close it all the way, open it untill the on/off thing at the other side would come loose, open it further to align the holes, turn it 2/3 further (it says 1/4 but there are six holes so this seems to be impossible?!) and put the pump back under my car.
When I disconnect the outlet fuel tube it starts spitting a lot of fuel. So that seems to work. When I connect it however I hear:
Tick tick (within one second) .. three seconds of silence .. tick tick (again within one second) etc.
Within my filter I do see fuel getting in every time it "pumps". It does not get all the way full or something however (not sure if I should expect that). It fills around 1/3 it seems. Probably just enough to get a direct line with the outflow tube.
My question now is whether it's working properly or not. I expected a lot more ticking.
The pump itself is all new (no wear at all) so I don't expect any contacts to be wrong or something. All that I may have done wrong is the adjustment of the diaphram. Without the hoses connected it does "tick" quite a bit though.
Shall I give driving an attempt? There is not many people around here that can tow me if it breaks down again so I do like to verify I have an acceptable sound from the pump right now.
Hope people can respond asap so I know what I am up to /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
