Hi Richard
Thanks mate, good advise. I will start a search starting at the fuel tank and follow the line to the carb. I have cleaned the fuel filter and there was some muck in there, but not much. I tried to remove the worn diaphram, but even with the manual at my side I could not remove it, hence my thought of an electric fuel pump. I will contact Darcy at MV Spares and see what he has.
I must come clean and advise that I am embarrased to admit that a few weeks back I took the Jeep for a drive through the hills and ran out of petrol coming back home and had to have the RAA (Auto Club) bring out some fuel. But what is worse I have a perfectly good working fuel gauge.
Cheers
Tony
