Fuel pump speed?

[martin]

Hi All



Could I have your views please? I've just sat watching the fuel pump 'firing' every 6 to 7 seconds at 1000 rpm tickover (increasing if I increase the throttle). Big juicy spark between the points. Does this seem an Ok frequency? And if not, would replacement points sort it?

Thanks

The big juicy spark is not good.
There’s some sort of solution to solder in a diode. Have a search on the internet.
