Pump died. Swapped for spare. Works but chattered a lot. Changed for new electronic pump. Won't work properly at all, keeps dying. Changed back to previous one. Would only idle at high setting. Still chattered like mad, eventually ran hot and kept stalling. Am going to buy a new pump again to make sure its not a carb problem. 2 questions. 1 Who has recently bought a good new pump and where? Mechanical or electronic. If electronic what make/type. 2 if its not the pump what else would cause these symptons? Carb settings seem OK and piston falls freely)

If you're going to buy a new pump, my advice would be to stick to an original type SU electric pump (Manufactured by Burlen Fuel services at Salisbury and which at least can be serviced) and not bother with anything electronic.

NO one seems to have original pump to sell. Not Moss Bull Motif or ESM
