Yes, the pump is purely mechanical. One must remember, for all their good looks, these are basically glorified old tractor motors. Which is usually why the best guys to work on them are guys who work on old tractors. Cleaning all the gunk out of the pan and keeping that screen clean is a good thing, but taking the pump down, or apart, if it's functioning okay, is just asking for trouble when you don't have any.

All that said, I'm chasing an electrical glitch on my '29 now, so, the fun never ends! Have fun with it!
