Kees,
You tell us that =E2=80=9E failures are .. often due to .. the people, =
owners or mechanics, who maintain the cars (and thus pumps).=E2=80=9D
Well I am one of those.
I bought my 100 in 1998 and the only problems that occurred with the =
fuel pump were when the car still was in the hands of the past owner. It =
just didn=E2=80=99t start when I inspected the car for the first time. =
So we postponed the buying, he got the problem sorted out and I =
didn=E2=80=99t have further problems with the pump itself. Some days ago =
there was a problem with the connection of the electric wire outside the =
pump, which just had to be screwed on again =E2=80=93 so this was =
solved.
Now I got the pump in the car and an extra one that was used already and =
that I bought rather cheap. The Healey gets driven app. 2.500 km per =
year. Car and extra pump are stored in a garage kept at 50 % humidity. =
Apart from cleaning the points and putting acid free paper in on the =
spare pump, what are your suggestions on service and storage of the pump =
in the car and the spare?

Al,

All I wanted to say is that some of the listers have been unfortunate =
with the SU-pump while most others do not have the problems these =
listers have encountered. There is no doubt that they had the problems. =
I may not have used the proper wording as English is not my native =
tongue.
In my opinion the failures are not often due to the pumps themselves but =
to the people, owners or mechanics, who maintain the cars (and thus =
pumps). Most of the pumps I have dismantled show this. Nearly all failed =
pumps I get in are in very good condition but for the adjustment or =
corrosion of the points due to lack of knowledge of the pump, use and =
maintenance or improper storage. Most are not aware that the pumps =
should be serviced once in a while and do not know how to go about it. =
Wacking the pump repeatedly and not servicing the pump first thing when =
this happens shows that.
Other rare but unfortunate failures are a burned coil or leaking valves =
through trapped dirt. As another lister suggested other factors like =
fuel blockage may play a role as well.=20
