Hi Doug,

No personal experience but apparently thay are noisy, and run all the time as apposed to the SU pumps that are quieter and only run when required.

I prefer the ones that switch off when the car is not in use

Hows that motor then Dave - all running ok?

I have used facet pumps on several vehicles, they must be mounted on rubber bobbins or they rattle annoyingly. Seem to last about 20,000 miles then gradually hammer their rubber non return valves to pieces which end up in the carb needle valves if you forget to fit a filter before the carb. Eventually they just rattle and don't pump. I have also used a facet interuptor pump on a high powered RoverV8 and after a few years I had to tap it to get it to start just like an SU pump:X

Don't forget they don't take plastic - only cheques or cash.
Mind you they did give me an invoice and let me do a bank transfer.

Fit a Carter pump; it fits the Stag mounting points and works in a similar manner to the Stag unit.

Nice solid metal body and unions and pumps sufficient fuel for most uses.

Available from Real Steel for around £50.

Do you mean if you disconnect the fuel pipe from the carbs the fuel is spurting out from the fuel pipe in tune with the pump ?. If so, then not pump/fuel related. More ignition/firing problems it seems.

Hi Guys

Anyone wanting to keep their SU can convert it to electronic by getting a kit
