[Healeys] Fuel pumps (AGAIN!)

[healeydoc at gmail.com]

I do not understand the problem with the SU pump that everyone feels that they have to re invent the wheel. I have using the standard SU pump with points in my Healey for almost 75000 miles and never had a failure. 

We also have been installing the standard SU points pump here at the shop on every car we do for over 40 years 
Everything from Healey’s, MG’s and Jaguar’s and had very few failures.

I found the voltage regulator was misadjusted when i got my car.  At 17V, a new pump quit working in less than a year.  At 14V, the replacement is 10 years old and happily ticking away.

  Hi Bob,



  I’m also not sure why you’re having problems with pumps.  Maybe something common between all of them; the vent, the ground, the venting of the fuel system, etc.



  I replaced my original pump in the late 80’s with a stock SU pump with points and it’s been on the car ever since; no problems except last year when it didn’t want to start, but a rap with a rubber mallet and it’s been working ever since.



  Try Healey Surgeons for a replacement pump.  Their parts are 100% correct and I’ve never had a problem with anything from them in almost 30 years.



  Best of luck,

  Frank
