Fuel Pumps

[broke@insight.rr.com (broke)]

The Bentley states in the transfer pump test procedure that you should
remove the coil wire from the distributor, and ground it.
Then, it says to operate the starter for 3-4 seconds. "While the starter is
running, and for a few seconds afterward, the running transfer pump should
be audible."
I know you can feel it vibrate when it runs.
It goes on to say if it doesn't run, jump the relay, if that doesn't work,
check for voltage at the connector to the pump, and then it tells about the
10oz in 10 seconds test.
