First ascertain if the polarity of board is correct.
When setting the fork use a plastic tool to move it around. The end
position is such that the fork just does not catch on the magnet. It
takes a bit of fiddling before it starts up but once going it is fairly
clear what the correct position is with the fastest rate.
These electronic pumps/conversions are said to be not to reliable and
cannot compete against the old points system.
The only problem with the points pump is that it should be set up
properly, a very easy and simple job, and then used regularly to keep
the points clean. When storing a pump slide a bit of acid free paper
between the points to prevent electrolytic corrosion. The same if the
car is not in use for a long time.
I have had more than 160.000 miles in 11 years from my SU pump without
any attention to it. After that (1985) the car was laid up but was
started up every year or so until about 2000, never a problem. A few
years ago I tried to start up the car again and the pump failed. When
dismantling it, the points were corroded with nice cauliflowers around
them. But what amazed me most was that the internals were as clean as a
whistle, no corrosion, no gummed up deposits, just nice and shiny cast
aluminium. After cleaning and polishing the points and adjusting them
properly it was as new again on its original points, diaphragm and
valves and now runs in my present car. The pump is now 45 years old.
One big advantage of the pump running on points is that if it fails en
route, you can usually get it going again by sliding a bit of fine
sandpaper between the points
