So here is another one. We have one of the old deuce (M133/M135) here that occasionally goes on a parade or downtown display. Last year it went for a quick run around the base and the fuel pump quit. I brought in a NOS pump I had from home, along with a set of the rubber mounts (4 little rubber cords about 1-1/4 long) since you will rarely remove them in one piece. Cleaned up as required, and everything was fine, with the exception of the little rubber mounts which turned to goo within a night.
Now, 10 months later, I go to start the deuce and do not get the re-assuring whirr of the fuel pump. No start condition. So I go straight to the fuel tank and remove the cage the fuel pump is mounted in.
To get to the fuel pump you have to remove two cuno type filters, which I did, and here is what was greeting me:
