Fuel pump dying?

[356robo]

I checked the volume output of my fuel pump today. Weber carbs.

At the engine compartment, no filter. Output was 12 oz in 30 sec which converts to 42.58 liters per hour.

The pump is OEM Bosch and the specs say its capacity is 80 liters per hour.

So, I'm just over half volume. What does this mean?


Thanks in advance,

Rob

How many miles on it? other have stated over 100K is time to swap. I'm almost there...

I think there is a finger strainer in the tank could it be starting to clog up?

107,000 miles.

I'll look for the filter tomorrow.

Thanks,

On my 1977 the fuel pump was easier to change out than the fuel accumulator or fuel filter. It is not that expensive either.

Here's an update:

Filter in the tank is open and flowing.

I measured 12 volts to the pump.
