Yes and I think some of the experts have suggested turning back one =
extra hole.=20

These pumps certainly give us hours of theoretical fun(?) if not always =
so much in practical terms. Having said that, I =E2=80=93 touch wood =
=E2=80=93 have never had any trouble with them that didn=E2=80=99t arise =
from negligence ie back in the days when I didn=E2=80=99t know what =
points were, let alone how and when to adjust them.

Bob,

=20

The settings are the same for all SU pumps as the coil housing with =
points assembly is mechanically the same on all SU-pumps.

top blade to pedestal at the very front of the blade: 0,9mm/0,035

coil body to lip on lower points assembly: 2,3mm/0,090", this used to be =
1,9mm in the early days with a slightly different points design (NLA), =
but I set them all to 2,3mm using the later points

Also important is the adjustment of the diaphragm:=20

Remove the 10 guiding brass rings, five 8-shaped plastic parts or a =
U-shaped plastic casting between the steel centre of the diaphragm and =
coil housing.Screw in the diaphragm slowly while continually moving it =
in and out firmly, holding the pump horizontal, until the points just do =
not throw over any more, turn the diaphragm back to line up with the =
nearest hole and then turn back another 4 holes. Refit the guiding brass =
rings/8-shaped plastic parts/ U-shaped plastic casting. Be careful that =
these are seated properly. If not they will get damaged and the =
diaphragm will be destroyed when fitting the pump body and coil housing =
together.
Adjust the points as previously described.=20

Fit a transil between the small terminal screw of the points blade and =
one of the 2 larger pedestal screws.

David,

Are the factory settings per SU the same as those in the shop manual =

The reason for this is they went backwards in time about 50 years.

Originally the pumps only had a set of points and no condensor. Then =
they installed a condensor in the early 50s to solve the pitting points =
and sticking problems they were having. These pumps were used thru the =

to a Positive Ground pump was to remove the diode. This returned the =
pump the original design and they started having pump failures in the =
Positive ground pumps.

=20

Then somewhere in the late 90=E2=80=99s they started installing a non =
polarity concious diode in all the pumps. Thus solving the problem with =
pump failure due to the points.=20

=20

The one issue that we did find with the pumps in the late 90=E2=80=99s =
up until about 2005 was that the diaphgrams / points adjustments were =
incorrect. So we would always pull all of our pumps apart and re adjust =
