CGT revival

[mwvogt at netzero.com]

When was the last fill up? Maybe the gas gummed up the lines? Almost sounds like it's starved. What about the filter before the pump coming from the tank? Clogged maybe? What about the warm-up regulator? Am I right that the pump won't turn over until it gets the message? Maybe that's something else??
Anyway, hold your wallet when you change the pump
many fragile lines, fittings and even the plate they all sit on may go too.
Don't know if any of this helps. Good Luck Ed.

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!
 
Ed
