Old SU electric fuel pump sticks

[rdonahue@holli.com (Robert J. Donahue)]

Before I start my MG-TD, I have to tap on the fuel pump to get it started. I
know this is a common problem. (Had the same SU fuel pump on a 64 Sabb 96 way
back when.) I have burnished the contacts, but that didn't help. Does anybody
know which part of the pump needs replacement/cleaning/lubrication? I'd like
to fix the old pump if possible. The new replacement pumps are rather salty.
