Default Fuel pump rattle/clinky noise

Hi all,

I have a Group A Escos Fuel pump intank ending in 003.

This was bought by a friend of mine a couple years ago to do a zetec turbo but never got round to doing it. We just found it in his garage forgetting he even bought it. Here's the issue:

If you hold it upright and flick your wrist from side to side, it makes a clinky rattle, like something is loose inside and shaking about. Also if you shake the pump it does it too. Thing is I can't remember it doing it when it was first bought since I bought it for him. Is there a valve in there or something or is the pump fucked? It does sound like a valve type noise and not some odd rattle though. What you think people?

cheers

Anyone...?

I plan to get rid of this so really don't want to sell a broken fuel pump.

P.S. NOT A FOR SALE POST! I just want to establish if I have a working and usable pump or whether it is broken.

Thanks.
