CGT revival

[Ed Kellock]

Been farting around with this and finally have the fuel pump off the car,
the check valve removed and the pump is spinning. With the check valve
removed from the pump, fuel poured into the inlet flows out of the outlet
freely. With the check valve installed, no flow occurs whether static or
with pump running. I soaked the check valve in some solvent and poked at it
and the internals moved, but I'm still not sure if I understand this fully,
though it seems it should be pretty straightforward.

Soak in carburetor cleaner overnight (at least) then try pulsing power to it
in both correct and reverse polarity. DO SO WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER VERY
HANDY. I've set one on fire this way before and the old fuel tar goo stuff
burns quite well (although in a slow, docile way).
