If you have a Facit (sp?) electric fuel pump more than 2 years old,
there was a long run of defective units. I had the same sort of
mysterious random stalling problem, and tried many other repairs until
someone told me about that problem. Apprentyl there is a problem with
the commutator on the motor in the pump, and the only fix is to replace
the pump. I had replaced the coil also... Good luck.

         Cruising the Chesapeake: A Gunkholer's Guide

  My favorite Chesapeake Bay guidebook. While it mentions marinas,
  it concentrates on anchorages--the kind of places I prefer to spend
  my time. And in addition to listing shore facilities, it rates each
  location for Beauty/Interest and Protection. This is the guide you
  need to really cruise the Chesapeake Bay--a smorgasbord of small
  creeks and coves.
