Greetings all. SU experts are requested to comment. I've just acquired a 6v SU fuel pump which does actually run. The incredible thing is that it is made from brass rather than the alloy or aluminium that I've always seen SU pumps made from previously. It's heavy!
Anyway, I'd love to find out what it might be from (Morris?), and whether it is positive or negative earth. From the cap it seems to be low pressure, I guess. I don't know whether that means it's mounted on the firewall or at the tank. Probably at the firewall. It doesn't matter to me anyway, since I have a gravity tank, but with the SU carb mounted rather high.
I've photographed the only markings on the pump that I can see (including some of the hammer marks when it obviously jammed!). Thanks.
