it could be. but if its been sat for a while there might be shite in the tank blocking it thats causing the pump to work harder etc etc. 3 months shouldnt cause that much of a prob though. but its another thing to check.
how do you mean its getting harder to start?

if it helps, mine used to only buzz really loud wen i was running low on fuel and stopped sharply or turned harshly etc
but this was also closely followed by the engine cutting out, so that would be a fair old sign of noise due to low fuel lol
is it mounted in the standard fuel pump bracket? and is that mounted using the correct rubbers? iv been in a couple of RS's with homebrew fuel pump holders, and due to no rubbers to dampen the vibration, and bein mounted closer to the floor, the vibrations and noise r vastly increased

when i go to start her she swings for about 30 r 40 seconds before she fires up she always used to start pretty much straight away but as it was parked for ages think i might change the plugs and leads and filters and see if this makes a difference
