It's a _fuel pump_. It must use crank case pressure pulses to work a
diaphragm. Gentle pressure on the input didn't cause any air out of the
fuel ports, so the diaphragm is probably not ruptured. And the mystery
of oil in the float bowl is not any closer to being solved sigh.

Oil in the float bowl and everywhere else sounds like somebody
(over)pickled the engine for long-term storage. If it was a '67 MG engine,
I'd tell you to look at the EGR valve. They tended to convert themselves
into oil pumps that fed into the intake manifold. g

Correction, that was the positive crankcase ventilator, not the EGR. '67s
didn't have EGRs.
