Full Version: Fuel Pump
1971 D-jet. Has left me stranded a few times - turn key and don't hear the pump operating. Car does tend to sit for long periods of time in-between drives. Pump tends to "lock-up" during slow speed/coasting to stop/at stop (not every time, but when it does stop, it's at low load). Have tried replacing fuses per threads here. If I tap on the exterior of the pump with a hammer - it will resume operating fine ... until it quits again. What's the prognosis?
Worn brushes in the motor after all these years.

What are my options? Remove and send out for re-build? I undestand that OEM replacement pumps are expensive. What's an alternate set-up?
