5.5A current draw

i found a spec for the fuel pump. Current draw is 5.5-8Amps. i put my 15A ammeter in line and record 5.5A so the pump is not drawing too much at least not now when it's warmed up. Can the pump motor have a bad spot on it (i don't know what it's called; aramature, brush; stator?) that could cause me to blow fuses until the pump passes that bad spot. Any one have any experience with this? Don't want to change the pump unnesesarily but definetly don't want it to happen again.
