I had an intank pump from my '78 out of the tank and on the bench in a bucket of safety solvent.It pumped liquid like the "race horse" you spoke of. So I thought it was "good to go" and re-installed it, the car would still hesitate for just a split second when you first would go from a stop but only when tank level was below 1/4.So I removed it again and bench tested it again, this time I ran the pump for longer than 5 seconds and at about 30 seconds the flow would be down to a "trickle". Installed a new pump and all was well. My point is, just "bumping" the pump doesn't always prove the pump to be good.
