Default series 2 fuel pump stopped working?

My 2nd fuel pump has stopped working i think? when i try switch over tanks car just dies out of fuel, had a look and the tank that is working the fuel pump makes a tick sound every so often but the tank not working the fuel pump doesnt make no sound,

There is 1 wire going to the fuel pump and 1 wire going to ground, is the wire going to the fuel pump ment to have power going to it? i got a volt meter to check if it was a wire or the pump but i cant get any volts coming from the wires even on the fuel pump that works is showing no volts? am i doing it wrong or are these not power activated?

Could someone tell me the steps to take to see if its the fuel pump or a wire going to it thats at fault, i installed a new headunit and i might of pulled a wire off the fuel switch im not sure either that or the fuel pump is stuffed itself.

So the fuel pump has points and i have the book telling me how to check the gap etc but i cant follow and get what its trying to tell me what to do . . .

Is there any videos out there on how to check fuel pump points for a series 2? if not would someone with a series 2 that knows how to do fuel pump points want to send me some pictures or a video on how to do the fuel pump points? im stuck looking at this book can't quite see what they want me to do
