CGT revival

[Ed Kellock]

After about 4.5 years, I have finally gotten a new timing belt on my CGT. I
had ordered everything for a timing belt job, but the belt and water pump I
received were the newer style, rounded tooth type. I replace the idler pully
and the two oil seals but am using the previous water pump with a new belt.

 
Anyway, upon first cranking to start, it did fire up very briefly. However,
it seems the fuel pump is locked up. I would like to avoid replacing it,
although it is the original, but a new one is between 100 and 200 bucks. A
bit dear for me at the moment, but not out of the question. I've beat on it
with a heavy wrench and reversed the wires to try to break it free, but so
far, no buzz. Just wondering if anyone has any other ideas regarding
reviving it.  Thanks!
