Those of you getting 100,000+ miles from your original S.U. pumps should
consider yourselves lucky.
My first S.U. fuel pump experience was with a '57 Healey 100-6 I had back in
1964. Pump quit while away from home. Hammer therapy didn't work. Removed
the one jump seat, the cover of the pump & manually pimped to get home.
Second was at Stratton Mt., VT with 3,000 miles on a new MGB. Pump quit.
Fortunately a mechanic at the Texaco station downhill (We rolled it down
there) on Rt. 100 was able to get it working well enough for me to get back
to Jersey where I replaced it with an AC pump that never quit while I still
had the B.
Since then, one of the first tasks when I bought my other British cars was
to replace the S.U.pump if it still had one.
