[Healeys] SU Fuel Pumps

[Simon Lachlan]

See attached. They be overkill with particular respect to your query.

I think all the points are double now. If they stick when the pump’s new, you may need to take it round one more screw/bolt. That’ll make sense when you read the AUF 301 article.

You might say it’s an accumulation of all I know about these pumps. Not sure what constitutes “solid state” in respect of SU pumps but I am sure that one benefits from anything that cuts down on the arcing that causes pitting and the eventual death of points. (Diodes etcetc) Certainly, my first 3000 – when I knew even less, far less, than now – had pump points issues. I didn’t even know where the pump was, let alone what was inside it. Could have been mice on a wheel for all I knew. Ditto with my Sunbeam Tiger, but at least I’d learnt a bit by then.

So, good luck.

Simon

What are folks experience with the improved SU Fuel Pump with double points?  Do you still have trouble with the points sticking after the initial installation?  How often do you clean the points?  Is it really worth going to solid state points?

Thanks Al
