Morris Minor 1000 not starting

[EBURTON]

Hi all,

I have a 1966 Morris Minor 1000. For the past few months the fuel pump clicked when starting. Now the clicking has stopped and it's difficult to start the car. Does this mean that I need a new fuel pump?

Thanks

Hi

Shouldn't think so, try tapping the pump first to see if kicks back into life, if it does i'd just clean points up which are located behind the plastic cover on the end of the pump.

That's it - clean the points! Smart looking cars.... !

look - it will help to you - the pump must has " TIK TIK TIK "sound - you must check electric wires with battery and points
