Before you replace/rebuild the pump, you might try cleaning the electrical contacts. If they're flaky, then tapping the pump with the hammer may have jolted them. I'd try inspecting them and cleaning them first.
If that doesn't work, and the problem persists, I think it's best to replace the pump. bs ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, November 25, 2009 7:07:49 PM Subject: [alfa] '72 Berlina Fuel Pump The Bosch fuel pump on my '72 Berlina has developed an intermittant problem which I was able to address today by tapping it with a hammer, thereby causing the pump to restart, fuel pressure light to go out and my car to start again. Can/should I repair the pump or just buy a new one? If it can be repaired, who do I send it to? If I need a new one, who has the best price? ---West Clark -- to be removed from alfa, see http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi or email "unsubscribe alfa" to [email protected] -- to be removed from alfa, see http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi or email "unsubscribe alfa" to [email protected]
