<p>Do not carry an SU pump with points in the boot as a spare. When
you will need it it will not work in most cases as the points have
corroded by then. Easy to remedy but it is not a straight swap,
you will have to clean the points first. For a spare you can use
the electronic version.</p>
<p>However it is not really necessary to carry a spare. A bit f 1000
grade wet&dry in the tool kit will do because when the pump is
faltering it is nearly always due to dirty, corroded or pitted
points which can be addressed to at the road side.<br>
</p>
<p>For any original SU pump the rule is to clean, polish and
check/adjust the points using a bit of flower paper or 1000 grade
wet&dry every year. That way it will last a lifetime. Other
components rarely give trouble in a regularly driven car.</p>

<div>You will get lots of suggestions. Mine is to replace your
SU with an SU. SU's are very reliable (either correctly
restored or a new one), they fit without having to modify the
mounting bracketry and the fuel line fittings (that can be a
big deal). You can carry a spare SU in the boot if you are
worried about a road side failure. The spare will fit without
modification. Or you can plumb in a second SU in parallel with
the original so that if the original fails all you need to do
is switch to the spare. New SU's are available with improved
electronics that will result in low maintenance, trouble free
operation for a long time. If your SU is still operating that
means it is nearly 50 years old. Not bad!</div>
