When I got my '73 B the fuel pump (an aftermarket unit of Australian
manufacture) was iffy at best, getting stuck if the car sat for more than a
week or two. To solve the problem I bought a NEW SU-Butec pump about a
year ago. Out of the box it didn't work, I had to open it to clean the
points before it would function at all. Now the same evil is befalling me,
when the car sits for more than a week or two it sticks. The last episode
not even healthy whacks with the hub hammer had any impact.
So, suggestions? I understand that SU-Butec is now selling a pump without
points, is this any good? Or what other drop-in remedies are available?
