Hi to the two Richards
I have taken what you have said onboard and stick to the mechanical original fuel pump. I stripped down the fuel pump and noticed the diaphragm had given up and It looks like I will now only have to replace the Diaphragm, gaskets and Valve Kit. I ordered them from MV Spares a couple of minutes ago. I then got the compresor out and blew out all Lines from the fuel tank to the carby. so once I get the new repair kit I will get her up and running. I love the idea of the bit of broom stick, I will get a piece myself and mark it as a backup to dip before any drive. Thanks guys for your assistance
Cheers
Tony
