hi all
i posted a message about a month ago about my power major not starting and received 4 replies.i have since had a peek inside and it is not a pretty sight (can't work out how to add photo's).i think a re-conditioned fuel pump is needed.my question is do i need to fit the same pump type-currently a simms p4685 pump or will any simms pump fit?

thanks

Posting photos is the easy bit - so I'll try to guide you if I can: (this is for an ordinary laptop, Windows 7)

1. Open an account with Photobucket. It's free, although it's got loads of adverts on, and for a small fee you can apparently escape from the ads.

2. Move your photos there, into the Library. You can store all your photos there if you want, although I prefer OneDrive for that, it means if your house burns down you lose all your wordly possessions but you don't lose your photos.

3. Go to the Library and click on the photo you want to show us. On the right you will see several boxes containing URL's and stuff (please excuse my ignorance). Click on the bottom one, labelled 'IMG'; you will see that it briefly turns yellow, and the word 'Copied' appears for a second.

4. Then come here, write your post, and at the appropriate place, right-click and 'Paste'. Don't worry that your actual photo isn't shown at that time, only its URL; when you post the message, it should include the photo then.

For example


So please try to show us a photo, your pump may still be salvageable..

There is also a post just below yours titled "Super Major won't start". The answers cover most of your issues, Have you read it?
