I never had trouble with the WEST resin pump, but the hardener one definitely crudded up and got innacurate, and I wound up pumping hot water through it every about once every three months or so. By the end of a three year build I was still on the original resin pump, but was on the second hardener pump - and it was on its last legs. Trouble is you haveto buy the set.
