Jim:
It sounds like it is time for a new pump, even if you can get the old
one working. There are newer pumps available that look identical to the
original but use electronics to do the switching instead of the points.
As a result they are much more reliable. In the original design, the
points carry a large current and that is why they eventually erode and
need to be filed down or replaced. IIRC, the original pump carries the
part no. AUF 301, but that has been superseded by AUF 303. The big
Healey uses the same pump and Moss Motors carries them. You can
probably search the web and find other suppliers.
Good luck,
Tod
