AW: [mg-tabc] electric fuel pumps (on TC's)

[Paroor]

Hi Rick, I'm 60+ and never went to dentist for last 40 years except few times for cleaning and polishing. Got still all my original second set of teeth what God gave me. It is still in good shape with out any damage. May be because I am from the healthy but poor third world. With the Lucas electric is very similar. First of all you had to have luck, then you had to do some maintenance and service to keep them healthy. But certain things like aging/wear you are helpless. But regular maintenance can save a lot of headache and prolong the life. By the way I was not able to overhaul the TC 0448 SU pump yet. Borrowed one from David Tasa for trial start of engine. Have a nice day. Madhu -----Urspr ngliche Nachricht----- Von: mg-tabc@yahoogroups.com [mailto:mg-tabc@yahoogroups.com]Im Auftrag von Rick Waters Gesendet: Mittwoch, 22.

My SU has never failed in the 18 years I've driven the car. In addition, the Regulator/cut out has not malfunctioned, and neither has the ignition system. I've not had a generator failure, but I will admit that after rebuilding the XPAG, the old starter gave up the ghost. Are the circa 1940s English auto electrics so bad? My experience has been quite positive. -Rick, TC 7881
