Hello again my lil 1980 luv seems to have a fuel problem but i just changed the fuel . I am having a problem with my fuel pump and it stock wiring is cutting off power to it. And my generator light is on now. So i wiring my pump to the coil and it works but i still have loss of power and not able to idle. I checked my points and they were burnt. I replaced them to 0.018. Same problem. Any ideas am i on the wrong lobe or is it something more. This is my daily and i am stumped. Thanks

Get the alternator checked out. If the pump isn't staying on and the GEN light is on, odds are good the alt or the regulator have a problem. The fuel pump relay is supposed to cut power to the pump if the engine isn't spinning the alternator (in case of a crash).

If getting too much voltage or too little you might have issues with spark causing it to run poorly.
