never had a fuel pump go before…but heres what happened… beater started bucking real bad like a Major misfire. Then it shut off…started up again, did the same thing…shut off. Started and then shut off…started and then was fine…drove it the rest of the way and it was fine…let it sit…figured it was just shit passing through the gas lines since I was working on it today…started it up a few hours later, ran fine and a few miles down the road it shut off, and this time wouldnt started…a few times earlier today I heard loud buzzing sounds comming from the fuel pump before any of this happened… I just want to re assure myself its the pump before I go buying one. ---
