AFAIK Facet click away all the time unlike the SU design which only =
clicks on demand. There are Hardi types which look exactly like the SU, =
and plastic-bodied Moprod which do not look the same but mount and =
connect in the same way and operate like an SU.
Both those, and the later SUs, are 'pointless' pumps and I've had =
problems with the Moprod where it started short-stroking and causing =
fuel starvation even though it was clicking away, and I just had to wait =
until it decided to start working properly again. After two or three =
bouts of that I junked it and fitted a pukka SU - with points, at least =
with those a clout usually gets them going again.
What filters there are from the factory are internal on HS cars - tank =
pickup and inside the pump, HIF cars have one just before the carbs.
I don't think dropping the tank will show much, although if you drain =
enough out and remove the gauge sender and tip it on end you may be able =
to see the pickup - if there are no baffles.

Subject: Re: [Mgs] Fuel Pump?
After a cursory inspection today I found a non SU type electric pump. =
Looks like a large Facet type, but I can't be sure. I also found that =
there are no filters anywhere between the tank to the Weber. I removed =
the cylindrical mesh filter in the Weber and it was absolutely clean. =
So I started it up cold and for the first time right after start it =
idled a little over 500 rpm. Usually with the jets (probably wrong =
ones) in the Weber startups have not been under 1000 rpm at idle in the =
past. The pump was clicking away as normal. It has rubber type fuel =
hose on either side of the pump which should not present a problem. =
Don't want to, but might have to drop the fuel tank and have a look see.
