Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) Morgan 4 x 4 wont start

I have a 4 x 4 Royal Ivory red leather int wire wheels etc, had a new fuel pump fitted just before the lockdown but have only driven about 200 miles if that, drove it in the garage ok last time now turns over well all electrical bit working well, but no fuel to the engine.

Any ideas please

Sorry 1.9 Zetec engine all in very good order as is the car.

Fuel pump relay?
That would be my first check

4/4 - Stanley

Do you hear the fuel pump starting?
:
And as Buster mentioned: The relays (all relays) are often a problem on Morgans.

or relay connections

I'd like to know where to get a 4 wheel drive Morgan

Does the fuel pump click when you turn on the ignition? If yes, suspect fuel pipes. If no, suspect there is no power to pump, check relay (swap with another), if no difference time to check wiring connections to pump (the Lucar connectors can loose tension).

P.S. might be better to post in the maintenance section, or the pre-CX cars section, rather than the non-Morgan cars section

Here's one (sort of)....

Thanks for your comments, One problem is I had a new fuel pump fitted less that 200 miles ago, car kept in garage over lockdown only taken out polished and put back however the last time I drove it a year ogo all was good drove into garage parked put to bed etc. went to move it today all electrice seem OK no noise from fuel pump have purched replacment realy and emergency fuel cut off switch both should arive in the next few days.all fuses look OK.

Always test blade fuses with a meter. They can look fine, but actually have a hairline crack which one cannot see

Thank you

I agree with Graham re checking fuses properly!
I wasted 30 mins a couple of years ago in a layby testing for a cooling fan failure. Blade fuse in place using meter probes across the contacts in the plastic bit. It looked ok but removing it and testing across the blades themselves showd a blown fuse. There was a VERY fine break not a clear gap.
