About a week ago I posted a query which was to the effect, "How long might
one expect a set of (proper Burlen) points for an SU pump to last?"
"How long is a piece of string?", I hear you say.
So, the reason for the original query was this:- Not withstanding that they
were not Taiwanese and that I reckon they were correctly installed, I think
that they wore out rather quickly despite both sets being protected by
Burlen supplied diodes.
Replacing the points seemed, at first glance, to be harder than I remembered
from previous times..I could get both sets running on the bench. With four
plus one extra holes after "throw-over(?)". But, once in the car, one pump
would only work for a while..totally haphazard.
Eventually I turned to the wiring and terminals at the "on, off, on"
switch.:-
On..left hand half
Off..neither half
On..right hand half
The RHS terminals were intermittent. Ie losing continuity hence cutting off
power to the RHS.
QUESTION:- OK, assuming you're still reading, could the problems within the
switch translate to sparking and issues within the pumps' points? And thus
cause them to wear out so quickly?
Thanks,
Simon
