Just to be clear Jim, you mean the cold start lever on the injection pump? If so, i seem to recall you mentioning other problems some time back and knowing the mileage on your car is fairly high, i'd suggest you bite the bullet and get a reconditioned IP - should solve all your leaks and other problems in one go but i doubt it will be a cheap fix.
That said it will probably improve your mpg so willgive a bit of payback that way. :thumbs_up:

Thanks dave I do have another pump. I've been doing short runs morning and night of a month so that lever moves forward then back when warming up but engine is hardly getting hot so not good .but gets a run at weekends .it's a bit tricky to replace the 2 O ring's
The leak is still there but not as much at moment
