Not yet I got an hour on it yesterday replaced the fuel filter on the bulk head couldn't find another filter at the back near pump or tank so removed the pump & fitted another pump got to connect lines to pump but need some new jubilee clips & didn't have time to get them yesterday so once I connect the lines I can give it a test. Should be tomorrow weather permitting

Well got the pump swapped over & changed fuel filter been for a spin & the problem is still there but noticed that my carb had oil running from the dash pot damper (& yes it was tight) so iam presuming some seals have gone on the carb to pressure rise oil out of there so that's my next step sort my other carb & rebuild it

it is between reg & carb iam sure them plastic 1s are originally used on the metro turbo as std the thing is it works fine some times so would the filter not restrict the flow every run?


In that location the filter only has to cope with the fuel the engine is actually using. That wont be very much so wont be a problem.

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will
