Tom Mitchell – thanks for that, but I was directing the question at Tom Felts to help diagnose his issue…

Hi,

 

I have one of each pumps installed. The points pump does pump slower but I attributed that to being 20 years old. The electronic pump is about 10 years old and does pump faster. Both seem to work fine. Except for the points pump, I have to hit the bulkhead every now and then to get it started.

Tom - does it pump at the usual rate and for the usual time? 

Faster? [Might signal an air leak, and not enough pressure to get it to slow down] 

Slower? [Might signal a blocked screen at the pump or carb[s], or blocked/pinched/collapsed fuel line, generating enough pressure to make the pump slow down or stop - same as if the float bowl was full.

All the best,

nteresting---I'm believe I am having problems with my solid state one now.  it works, but is weak in pumping--so much so that while looking at the see-thru filter, there is very little fuel in it.  I have had the  Healey shut down on me several times recently which I have attributed to fuel starvation.
