Bud,
I am thinking that I need to rebuild as well. I rebuilt the ones for my
old Sprite in high school (over 15 years ago), I shouldn't have any
trouble. I still have both of my SU manuals, SU toolkit, and UNI-Sync. I
notices corrosion on one of the needles, so I will order a set of those at
the same time.
I haven't checked to see what kind of fuel pump I have yet, it pumps loudly
till the bowls are full, the continues to pump slower. Barney mentioned
that some aftermarket pumps behave this way, so I will have to see.
Thanks
Patton
