[Rovernet] Electronic versus points fuel pump

[Barry Lafbery]

Like I said Gord call tow truck or drive it home, With points, pump or dizzy 99% you can fix it and drive home.
I’ve had points in my P3 for 15 years now and it’s never missed a beat.

Mine (from Burlan) died on the side of the mountain at the 75th anniversary LR rally at Greek Peak last June. 200 miles on it, but more than 90 days old so Burman would not help. Rebuild/ conversion kit required. All to say, with points, you can get home. Electronic?  Find a tow rope.
