<p>Most likely an SU AUF301/303/305 pump is fitted as original, the
Burlen/SU AZX1308 is the equivalent modern replacement. It is very
unlikely that the pump is scrap. These pumps are imminently
rebuildable. Probably the points are dirty/burned/worn and need
replacement. A problem that arises when the car is used sparingly.
Replacing the points is a simple operation that can be done in
about an hour at home using basic tools and some feeler gauges..</p>
<p>If a double ended pump is used both ends work simultaneously. If
one end stops the other end will continue more or less as a back
up. This is a bit of a problem as you will not normally notice one
end stopping.</p>
<p>Even with a new SU pump you often encounter that it does not work
initially and that you have to remove the cap to clean the points
using some flower paper. <br>
</p>
<p>There are electronic versions but apparently reliability is said
to be an issue.</p>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>I was out for a long drive in the mountains this afternoon
and on an uphill grade, the car lost power and as I pulled
over on a pull off, the engine died. I sat in the car for a
couple of minutes trying to restart it. I waited until
traffic was past me and turned the key but did not hear the
ticking of the fuel pump. I waited several minutes, tried
again but no luck.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I called AAA and they picked me and the car up for the ride
home. At home, off the flatbed, still no ticking. So, I am
thinking the fuel pump is dead.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Looking at the Moss site, they list an early and a late BJ8
pump. The Moss tech couldn't tell me which I am. My car
number is 29009. Am I an early or late pump? Also, if I
switch to the double ended pump, do both ends work at the same
time or is one end a backup for the other end? If one end
failed would the other end provide fuel in the normal manner
and save me?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Should I simply go with whichever single pump is for my car
and then install a backup pump? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just as an important aside, AAA said covid regulations
prohibited me from riding in the tow truck cab with the
driver. I was somewhat amazed at this but AAA offered to
transfer me to the nearest car rental place as a service. I
made my call but my ride didn't arrive before the truck driver
(she was in the middle of a haircut so you know where that got
me). The driver was very nice about the whole thing and did
allow me in the cab with him (I wore my mask).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I will start investigating the source of the pump problem
tomorrow.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for all input on this one,</div>
<div><br>
