higgy,
If you want an old weber, I have one in a box, complete with manifolds and air cleaner. I had once toyed with the idea of returning my bike to stock, but went entirely in the other direction.$75 plus shipping from California.

Cheers,
Duc in the Bay

NAPA replaced the pump at no charge. Unfortunately, the replacement pump failed last week. I have gone back to running the bike with no pump ( I have Dellortos). After readjusting the carbs, the bike is running well.
I can't imagine this pump would fail on its' own, as it is the same pump used in the '86 Ford Ranger, one of the most popular and longest-production mini-trucks in the world. Did you use a new filter screen when installing the pump? Did you run the pump dry after install? The slightest spec of dirt will kill the pump and running it dry for more than a few seconds will do it in.

I replaced my pump with this same part (although found for $41.00 at a local auto parts store). Other part #'s are: NFP P74069, TFP 2P74069 and E2486.
