Hah! Steve's not the only one to have nursed an MGB fuel pump along
with percussive maintenance. After learning the ropes on a '64, my
'65 had its pump relocated to the relative safety of the boot, right
next to the single 12V battery.

Excellent. Put volts to the pump, if it does not rattle it is broke.

It was fine as long as you were moving, enough bumps in the road to give
it a nudge every now and then, it was only prolonged stops or good road
surfaces that were the issue.
