The new "Bosch" ones are made in China. I would stick with the real German Bosch units from a good rebuilder.

Mine worked fine and I drove into the garage one day, then the next weekend went to start it and no go. There was no fuel pump noise. I think I tapped on it or just waited a day and then it started. It only got me a few miles though, with the engine breaking worse and worse. Got a flatbed home. I figured it had stopped at a bad spot on the commutator but the thing was so old that the brushes had worn all the way through the commutator into the steel shaft and was therefore un-rebuildable.

I got a recently rebuilt one from the Pelican classifieds. The seller got it from Zimms, I think, and had used it for a few hundred miles until he switched to carbs for other reasons. I avoided a core charge that way.

The rebuilt one works great.
