[Spridgets] Fuel Pump ?

[Michael MacLean]

Just get a Facet solid state pump.  Moss sells them for $75.  or you can go to Aircraft Spruce and order the very same pump for $32.95.  Go to the link below and order the pump at the very bottom of the Facet pump chart.  Exactly the same specs, exactly the same pump.  I have on on my Bugeye with a 1275 and it works perfectly.  Mount it near the tank.  Have a filter before or after the pump or ideally both places.

I have looked at various options, and asking for suggestions as to replacement/rebuild. For the MGB, I can rebuild the contacts, replace with a similar pump, or would a "solid state" replacement be better? I am not like my uncle who had to be totally original. He replaced the hydraulic brakes with OE mechanical brakes on his '32 Ford. And for the Sprite, suggestions? The sprite has set a bit, and the fuel has become a bit gelled. Nothing like napalm in the fuel system.
