I started answering, got called outside to join in a barbecue, came back in stuffed with carbonised chicken and hit "Submit reply". So sue me. And it still wasn't a capacitor!

Regarding polarity of the diaphragm pump. Sure the old fuel pumps had a coil to pull the diaphragm and contact points which opened to release it. So no concern about reverse polarity.
.You didn't bother reading the thread again, did you? There are better ideas in earlier posts that have already been confirmed as correct by the OP.![]()
What make is it? cause I have one out of my 351, I broke the plastic thread BUT all the electrics are OK.A brief summary,
1) It is a pressure switch, not a capacitor, as thought by me. Thankyou Skipper Stu
2) Motor runs fine when switch is bypassed. both backwards, and forwards.
3) No good one on display, and rubbish in the back. I think this is the only one in captivity.
4) I have now established it doesn't pump.
5) Waste of time for a fiver?.......... I don't think so. I've had a fivers worth of pleasure posting, reading replies and pulling it apart on a bit of a miserable day.
There is no 6, just putting it back together today and hope it works, if it does it's priceless.
AhIt's made by E P Draffin of Australia.
A google search now shows them as a furniture manufacturer.
Being a bit of a collector I also have a J DREX pump, and an old Sureflow.
Ah
I think mine is an old Sureflow
