Had it in this morning, the mechanic reckons the pumps had water & other non
specific **** as the filter had loads of it in. The idle speed is all over
the place & running very high. Any idea what is likely to have been damaged
or whatever? It runs weet as a nut with no smoke etc!

V8 su-carb? think they're called poppet valves or somesuch. they stick.

Mine will slowly increase to around 2000rpm on occasion.

otherwise, look for air leaks first and then linkages not returning I'd
guess.

If it's a Lucas/CAV pump they can race if the feed pressure from the lift
pump is low. Quite likely if it was full of crap, there may be some stuck
under the valve seats. Remove ring of screws round lift pump and clean out
valves etc, no need to disturb diaphragm. If water is the problem in
injector pump, once fuel system is cleaned out it may right itself otherwise
expensive rebuild may be needed.
