73 MGB Fuel Pump

[lx6cg]

John, thank you so much for this video. My XKE fuel pump did not work and following your instructions, I was able to bring it back to life. The only thing is that it took me 90 minutes for what you achieved in 9'40''...Again, kudos.

Brill; about to resurrect the old pump to prime the swirl-pot for the injection pump... sure to need the points cleaning after nearly 10 years of no use.

Thx for the vid, John.

why cant the same pump be used as we used in water coolers?

I just bought a 1977 MGB. I was driving it home when a small amount of smoke started coming from under the hood. So I turned it off while I was stoped at a light. I tried to turn it back on and it wouldn't start. What do you think it is? Please help.

couldn't follow any of your vid can i suggest a white surface or more light to work with and have a fixed camera you know what you are doing its a shame you don,t pass on your knowledge more clearly.

Watch the clip again with the exploded diagram from the manual in front of you. All wll become clear. John - you are a legend. Thank you for continuing to post such useful videos.

Disregard John - I got it. My valve body screws were not tight enough. IT WORKS!

[3kidder]

Thanks Jon - I did it today on my 70 convertable and it worked! Problem is now it leaks like a siv. Did I not get the outer housing screws in tight enough? Seems dangerous being electrical.

hi john this may seem obvious to you but when i refit my pump (64 mgb) do i have to make sure the holes in the banjo bolt and the inlet are lined up with their respective pipes? thanks for a great video, wish i'd watched it before i'd taken my fuel pump off but at least it was a learning curve - tony

[NorkiddExo]

Im glad im not the one putting it back together.

[jorgekluney]

Wow.

That was quick!

[snotmale]

Thanks a bunch! I have struggled with my now only light occasionally used '78 B Roadster (30k miles from new). I have been through the solenoid tapping phase and was lining up for a full change, but strikes me the points are probably just dirty!! Will be brave and take a closer look now!

Another gem.

Was it really necessary to dismantle the entire pump just to clean the points? I just take off the bakelite cap and use one of my wife's nail files to clean the points in situ.

Thank you very much, your videos make our hobby so much more enjoyable.

Impressive - stripped and rebuilt fuel pump in under 10 minutes.
