Re: [DML] inertia switch

Payne, As you probably know is a safety cut off switch for the fuel 
pump. When the plunger is up, the switch is off and the pump won't 
run. Down and if the switch is good the pump will run. You can hold 
the switch in one hand and gently tap it against the other hand and 
the plunger should pop up. It should sound as if a metal ball is 
rolling around inside. If it doesn't, then is most likly defective. 
It should take just a little pressure to push it back down. I do have 
a couple of good used ones.
