James,

You may want to replace that mechanical pump with a FACET electric pump
mounted near the tank outlet.

I have the FACET on all my Triumphs and have had zero problems in over 8
years.

I replaced the AC pump with a blanking plate where I also fitted a pressure
regulator. 

Now no more leaking oil near the pump and diaphragm failures. Plus better
starts after long periods of idle.

Anyone have a very nice looking orig AC  fuel pump available?  I found out
that the reason my steering rack shaft was hitting the fuel pump was because
it was the wrong AC fuel pump.  I can rebuilt it, just looking for one that
is not a dirty worn mess.  Also, is there a recommendation on who I could
send the pump to for micropolishing so it looks new but stock appearing.  

Thanks,
