Good morning, I hope everybody’s having a good weekend.
Tried to start the 914/6 project and less than 150 mile Carter fuel pump is dead. Good power and ground to it and not making any noise or action. Just tested a second of the exact same Carter pump that I put aside as a spare. When connected to battery + and - it pumps for about 2 seconds then trails off and then stops working. All the Facet and other pumps I’ve used will keep working so long as you have power/ground so I’m concluding that BOTH pumps are bad. What do you all think? Anyone else have problems with these? Thanks!    |

Sad, much of the parts are imported and failures are not uncommon. I have seen this across the board with many products
I found a cheapie on Amazon and she is working well and reasonably quiet |

I have seen this across the board with many products I found a cheapie on Amazon and she is working well and reasonably quiet Fortunately, this happened when the car was in my possession in the garage if I was on a road trip, I would’ve been totally screwed because the spare that I was dead too. Autozone pump seems to be doing fine For now, anyway, was able to get the car started. Here is the part that I’m using, it looks like it’s used by lots of different sellers with slightly different branding – they’re available from about 20 bucks on Amazon.  |
