I had a replacement 'U' type pump from Jamie some months ago and that refused to pump fuel. Rather than cause a fuss, (and I needed a pump!) I replaced the valves and it worked fine, except for the 'dripping carb' syndrome which has been discussed on this forum in the past. To be fair, when i mentioned the matter to Jamie en passant (I had sorted it out by then) he was very good about it, said that i should have returned it to him and and knocked money off my subsequent order.
However, having found a 'T' type pump repair kit whilst looking for something else in a box of bits I had had for years, I have since rebuilt my original pump and this is working fine.
There does seem to be a bit of an issue with the quality of these replacement pumps.
