Alyn-
Sounds to me like your pump is sucking air somewhere along the line. It
could be between the tank and the pump or between the pump and the carb.
I=B9d check all your fittings to make sure they are tight. Check the big
banjo fitting at the carb. Make sure there are no leaks at the sediment
bowl. That gasket leaks at times...at least it did for me. Give those
things a shot. Should solve the problem. I find that mine clicks once
every 3-5 seconds depending on the accelerator position.

Hi All<BR>
The fuel pump on my 86 clicks at a far greater rate than I think it should.=
In fact it seems to be continually clicking, about every three to four seco=
nds. Is this within accepted values? It's like a machine gun when the igniti=
on is first turned on and the carb is being primed - at least that's what I =
assume is going on. Am I being unnecessarily concerned here?<BR>
