Just an update in this.

The problem has manifested itself once again as the bike has been parked up for a couple of years. This time I decided to bite the bullet and remove the pump.

My plan was to give it a clean up in my parts cleaner and try to flush it somehow. Once I removed it though I have found the problem. One of the ring connectors (the one on the black wire that mounts half way up the pump) has rotted, leaving a loose wire.

I have a question. Is it okay just to use a normal metal ring connector and refit the pump, or should there be some kind of coating/special material for the connector?

Regards
Phil
