I have a pump by Walbro I bought years ago and never used. It's the
approximate size and shape of an SU and, apparently, it uses points
(but may be solid state). Anyone tried these? Came across this:<br>

<br>
ps. Why are we discussing this? According to some, SU pumps never
fail and last forever (I'm just an unlucky SOB ;).<br>

<div>Interestingly enough Michael, AHX12 (in which you have
competed for many hours) runs 2 "cube" type pumps and they
have proven to be totally reliable.
<div dir="auto">I wonder if some of the problems that have
been reported may be attributable to incorrect
installation. </div>
<div dir="auto">As I recall the instructions provided with
these pumps clearly indicate that they MUST be installed at
an angle of around 45 degrees on a vertical surface with the
outlet above the inlet.</div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff">I use a
double-headed SU pump on my 100 because of the
redundancy it offers. However, were I fitting an
aftermarket pump to it I would use a Carter 4570,
which I use on both of my race cars that have
Weber DCOE's and thus require low fuel pressure (2-4
psi) as do the SU's on my Healey. I am NOT a fan of
the FACET cube pumps (relabelled by NAPA and many
other sellers). The Carter has never let me down,
this under racing conditions, etc.</div>
