Time for a new fuel pump. Looking quickly @ Ebay I see all types listed for my engine ('75 2.0) such as this:
EBAY Pump It also lists it as for normally aspirated engine. What gives here and what PSI should I be looking for? Bosch original sells for $250+ but I don't think I need a pump that is that good do I? Tx |

I tried jumpering it with a 12v battery. Sometimes it works sometimes not. It sat in the car for 23 years and varnished up. I was able to get it working and it ran fine for the first summer. The following spring it was seized up again and I had to free it up. Its been good since but this spring it only ran for one ride and luckily it died in my driveway. I think its just time for a new one.
