Based on what I learned working on the SU fuel pump on my dad's TC (which
sat dormant but assembled for 7-10 years), odds are that the diaphragm is
dried out to the point of being too stiff to pump. If it was working 10
years ago, the electrical part should be fine, but since you have to pull
it all apart to replace the diaphragm, you may as well get the whole kit
and do it right.
