Dear listers,

 

Two days ago we went for a nice Indian Summer drive with the GT.

The GT recently had been MOT tested (the very final one, as next year the
car will be 50 years old and the MOT test is compulsory anymore).

After a visit at a nice terrace at a lake with some drinks, I tried to start
the GT again, but the starter cranked without success.

We quickly found, that the original SU pump failed. 

As I had no spare pump with me, I had to call the road services, who made a
temp fix by adding an extra pump in series.

 

Now my question is what is best for the final repair.

New set of points - available via Moss Motors a.o.

Convert to electronic points? - Is in backorder @ Moss now. 

Replace the diaphragm as well? The diaphragm still looks fine. 

 

Any experiences?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Cheers,

Hans
