Rog,
When I first tried to start my TR3B, after years of "rest", my fuel
pump did not want to pump. I pulled some gas through it, I used an
electric fuel pump, and let it sit over night. It worked fine after
that. It would be worth a try before repairing your old one.

That ain't a scrap pile, that is my car!
