Thanks Lynn. I did previously have a fuel issue that turned out to be one of the things you mentioned. After several days of messing about and rebuilding the original mechanical pump, after which I gave up and fitted the electric pump. It turn out to be a leak in the flexible pick up pipe from the tank. But I'm sure it's not that this time as the pump is delivering fuel ok, but it wasn't getting into the float chamber.

My electric pump was not expensive and I have no pressure gauge, but it's been working brilliantly up to now. What I especially like is that it primes the float chamber without churning the engine over before hand.....There is no hand primer on my unit, even if I wanted to climb in the back and remove an engine cover to do it.
