Okay, here's one for the real wrench's out there... 1979 Merc. 450 SL V-8 gasoline (I know, first problem)... Anyway, the fuel pump is new, car doesn't run much and it ended up sitting for about 5-7 weeks w/o running at all. Went to fire it up and found one of the hose clamps broke on the gas lines allowing the tank to run empty at some point after it was parked. No biggie, tightened the clamp but the fuel pump wouldn't run. It ain't the pump, pump works fine, no power. Relay is engaging and sending B+ somewhere but from there....well, it's a Merc. All ideas welcome!
