Hi all (That's both SPITFIRE and TRIUMPH lists)!

Now that I have reduced the gas leakage from my ZS carb to one drop,  the
gas pump got jealous and has taken to leaking  on the garage floor. [BTW
the leak has done a fine job of flushing out the Bendix drive on my
starter.   Are you listening, Nikki? :-0 )

Should I replace it with another stock pump, or do electric fuel pumps
offer clear reliability or cost advantages?   If I go the electric route,
what do I need to convert?

All war stories welcome!
