Thread: Fuel pump rebuild

The Midel company in Australia can supply brand new pumps in + earth, model AUA66EP at $239, a little expensive but I have had one on my 52 model since 1998 and it hasnt missed a beat so they are good and dont play up like points.

Good luck with your trip, feel free to PM me the details of any 48's or 49's you find on your journey

Going off the despatch books compared to what vehicles are known of, there must still be lots more out there. Keep your eyes open!

I am sure it will attract some attention on the way back with the 90 towing the series 1. What will I do if I someone offers me a 48/49 thats up in their barn back of whoop whoop SA.

Well if you find yourself in that situation, simply push the 88" off and winch the 48 on.

That makes sense to me

Hi

The armature ( coil ) is easy to remove from the main body .I've found two versions of the armature windings: one type has a enamelled coating over the copper wire, this tends to flake off after many years and cause shorting . The other type has cotton insulation on the copper wire . It would be easy to rewind the coil , measure the wire diameter and length and its resistance .

Morris Minors used the same low pressure same pump . Not sure which model, the 'low light' or the later type with the OHV engine .

BTW genuine SU rebuild kits are available from Gower and Lee in the UK , great to deal with and not expensive .

Thanks Mike we gravity fed the carby last night to drive it on the trailer. Worked well but the main jet seems to be clogged as you would expect sitting around for 5 Years. Started easily and idled on primary jet ok just wouldn't rev .ImageUploadedByTapatalk1347283995.336453.jpg bit hard to see with bonnet up.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1347284072.804839.jpg

Nothing like playing with cars after driving 3000 ks non stop at 10 o'clock at night .

I pulled the pump apart cleaned the points reasembled and it works The diaphram was ok. When I pulled it apart the earth wire screw was at the 8 o'clock position when reasembled it was at the 6 oclock which is impossible to do the screw up. I pulled it all apart again and I had the internal holes lined up in the correct position. Whoever had it apart last must have reassembled it incorrectly hence the no go.
