Electric pump, OPSS failure
Jury rig = jumper the OPSS terminals
Complete repair = replace OPSS

Electric pump, pump failure
Possible jury rig = dislodge stuck ball under bottom cap
Complete repair = replace pump

Mechanical pump, diaphragm failure
Jury rig = none
Complete repair = remove and rebuild pump or alternatively replace pump, change crankcase oil multiple times
Well done Neil. Great Post.
