Boy you have good ears. Hook a jumper up on the fuelpump and run a tube from the pump discharge side to a gallon can and run the pump. Squeez the bubber hose down with a pair of pliers if it gets noisy it's probably going bad. If it stays just humming it's ok. It wouldn't be a bad Idea to test the preaure while you've got that jumper and test hose on it. Stan Wilder 83 Westfalia Air Cooled
