Nick,
Are you still looking for a pump?

Hi brian, I have found a pump, but i did see this and wondered about bidding on it to keep as a spare just incase. What are they worth?

I was bidding on this one and got out bid and had no Internet signal to go higher.

Whilst we're on the subject of minimec pumps..... My one feels like its pumping strong on 3&4 but feels weak on 1&2, would this be the pump or injectors?

Injectors would be my first thought, 3 and 4 could have partially blocked nozzles.

Just out of curiosity .... would there be any advantage to replacing the vacuum gov Simms injector pump on my PM with a minimec pump

Not really, you might have to change the block, manifolds, throttle linkage, cylinder head to get around 2hp. The pump alone is not the answer.
