[Healeys] Petrol Pump

[BJ8Healeys]

Tim, I once cleaned the points of the fuel pump in a Sunbeam Tiger with the
sandpaper I was lucky enough to find on an empty matchbook by the side of
the road.  I keep a strip of very fine sandpaper in my toolkit to do the job
now (it would also work with the distributor points), although I have a
backup fuel pump.  No lubricant is necessary.

Hi

I have a late model BJ8. The pump has  got a little sticky so I need to give
it a quick "wack" to get the points free.

 

My question is, What is the best way to clean the points once I have taken
the cap off? Does WD40 have a role to play?

 

As usual I am sure that the collective wisdom of the list will give me very
good advice.

 

Thanks

 

Tim
