Ran fine for 10 days,this morning no fuel pump noise??? i have power to fuel pump with the red wire 12+ volts for a few seconds then voltage starts to drop ?? Is this electrical or a vapor lock issue ??????thanks its my dads trying to help him!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like the brushes in the fuel pump are at or beyond their max wear limit, change the pump and you will be back it the saddle. What happens is the brushes wear down short enough that they can get cocked at an angle and lock up the motor.

He has a new fuel pump motor but it doesnt have the filter on it,do you know if i can take the filter off the old motor and put on the new one?

If you change the pumps out, you should have no problems using the old pick up filter on the new pump.
