They do for about 30k-40k, that's not unreliable in my book. Like anything
else parts wear and need attention. Only a DP(resent)O ignores things that
are obviously failing and I include myself in that, having ignored just such
a problem once too often. I cleaned and refaced the points, and checked the
throw of the diaphragm, and used it to replace a 'pointless' pump that
started short-stroking and causing fuel starvation and no amount of banging
and fiddling 'fixed' that. I had to wait by the roadside until it decided
it was going to work properly again. The correctly maintained points pump
has since worked perfectly for many years.
