If the lever is worn, it does run in nice oily conditions so I have my doubts, you could fractionally reduce the thickness of the spacer. That will increase the travel of the lever to compensate.

Just notices some hairline cracks in the flexible fuel pipe to pump.Could be dragging in air? will try again with new pipe.
Jonas Linden Do you have the steelmesch hose from fuelline from the tank to the pump? They use to dry out inside and then drag air. · Reply · 3y Paul Carter Author Thanks Jonas sounds like the issue

Sorted,a hairline crack on the underside of a bend in the rubber fuel pipe allowing air in and breaking the vacuum from fuel tank to pump. Any way,pump overhauled so that should prevent any pump problems in the future.
The tube That I removed has 5.6mm printed on it but on amazon .de (can't buy from UK now) they only list 5mm &6mm which should I go for? I want to replace all the fuel pipes.

"Sorted"...great(!)
...but you said it wasn't working right during testing...and it sounded like the direction of flow was wrong... ("A tube fitted to the inlet side and immersed in a jug of water doesn't draw in any water when the hand primer is used but does so when the tube is attached to the out put side!")...?? |
