priming pump

[kennybgr8]

When sometimes I try to start I dont get the priming pump, (underneath and inside rear left wheel) It only kicks in when I tap it with a hammer then it then primes and starts ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,any clues,,,

This might not be much help, but if it was an old su pump it would be the points in the pump sticking.

I think I know what would be top of my shopping list

(No, not a bigger hammer)

Check the terminals are a tight fit and are clean

Buy a new pump before you stop on the road me old mate! Thats my thought? Check your connection first but sounds like your fuel pumps on it's last legs!
