I removed the top of the pump relay and confirmed that the first relay was closing when I put it at KPII. I then closed the other (closer) relay contact with my finger and heard a distant "thunk" noise.

It sounds like someone give the side of a cardboard box a tap. I tried it a couple times. Pretty sure it's the main pump. This relay looks brand new.

I wonder if I pull the main pump and pour some fresh fuel into it, if it might clear out any accumulated varnish and save the pump. Maybe

Since I found fuel in the main line at the rail, I assume it had fuel all the way back to the pump and did not dry out.


Then again, maybe it's dead.

Thoughts?
