Hans,
Good on you for 50 years on the pump. Into my 1972 GT, tomorrow, goes it=
s third, as the second failed last week, at ten years and 25,000 miles. I h=
ave never been successful with replacing diaphragm and points. Well, success=
ful in that the pumps did not leak, but they would not pump. =20
Installed in my GT is an auxiliary pump, wired to an unused rocker switc=
h on the console. When the engine falters, moving the switch brings the auxi=
liary pump into service and engine runs well again. =20
Running on the auxiliary pump, we drove in the CT Triumph Club=E2=80=99s B=
ritish Reliability Run. 906 miles were added to my odometer. All cars trave=
lled reliably and successfully, except for one that had a Weber carb, when i=
ts throttle return spring broke.=20
