The SU fuel pump can be finicky; I had to tickle mine once for a
couple hundred miles.
I believe you can still buy points which will usually get you running again.
There is a section in the Shop Manual for setting the points; you might want
to check that first.
If you Google SU fuel pump; there is a guy on there that rebuilds the pumps
and test them he may even have the electronic conversion to eliminate the
points. If you want the web site I will have to look for it I know I have
it here somewhere.
I finally change my fuel pump. There are a few on demand pumps out there or
at least there were the last time I looked.

Points cleaned up and it ran for a few minutes then stopped. Look as if the
entire unit needs replacing...options for replacement???
Thx, Jim
