Yes, my first electric priming pump failed after about 20 years of
intermittent service. I only used it briefly for starting and servicing
the fuel system.
When it did I bought two new ones. I installed one and used it for a few

operations so I returned it to the NAPA store for replacement. The
replacement worked fine.
