Among the many non-original piecies on my (still) non-running 1973 MG Midget
is an adjustable electric fuel pump of American origin. This would be fine,
save for the fact that it has a leak. One of its diaphragms spews forth
fuel, at high velocity, in the general direction of the differential. Not
good.
So, my options are:
1) Order an original fuel pump from VB.
2) Buy a used fuel pump from Mark Campbell, the local used Britparts
purveyor.
3) Buy another American fuel pump (would have to be adjustable, as
I don't know the required fuel pressure).
4) Attempt to repair the existing fuel pump, in spite of the fact
that the leaking part is not dissasemblable.
Do I have any other realistic options? Opinions? Are the original fuel pumps
any good? Are they worth $125 US (VB's price, I believe)?
Thanks,
Ken
