MG MGB Technical - fuel pump ticks with turn signal

My son & I are just finishing up a full resto on his 75 mgb. During final check over, I noticed that the fuel pump ticks every time the turn signal flashes. The fuel pump is a moprod electronic look alike to the S.U. pump. The only common wiring with both is the ground wire system. After checking the diagrams, and tracing the wiring, I find No problems. It doesn't seem to hurt the running of the car, or the turn signal system, but it doesn't seem right. Any advise or help would be appreciated.

Peter - It would appear that you have a bad ground. Try lifting the ground lug and sanding the surface under it down to shinny metal and then coat it with a conductive grease such as Kopr-Cote by Betts & Thomas. This is available at any electrical outlet. Good luck - Dave
