I've had 2 fuel pumps fail on a B14, both broke the lever off the pump - no idea why. The first just refused to start at home one morning without any prior symptoms. The second, again without any warning, wouldn't start in a shopping centre car park. Luckily though, this was when shops like Halfords and Les Smith were still in shopping centres. A quick trip to Les Smith got me some fuel pipe, 4 jubilee clips, some 2 core cable, and an electric fuel pump (I'm told Morris Minor but I couldn't be sure), McGyver'd it all together (fuel pump wedged into the spare wheel strap, + to the key side of the coil, - to the battery, pipes all over) and it ran like that 'till I sold it over a year later.
