Hi, looking for advice if poss.
I dismounted my D1L to clean it (badly coked screen) and on reconnecting am not getting any fuel from the pump.
Diesel is available on the inlet.
The contacts are pulsing but only at about 1.5 v, according to my meter (analogue, so it may be under reading a short pulse)

I removed the brass fitting from the diesel outlet, but still nothing coming.
Any ideas? Any help much appreciated - need to be able to keep the boat warm to entice Mrs L down to the boat.

The meter reading is not indicative of a fault, it will not, as you suspect, read the true voltage as it does not have time during the pulse. Sounds like the pump may be at fault, I have a couple of used ones, you can borrow one if you want to try it. First try applying 12v to the pump directly and pulsing to see if you get a tick, then do the same with it connected to the fuel and see if you get a squirt.
