Desperate measures

Absolutely, good way to prove it's fuel related issue.

I thought we knew that anyway

Spray on deodorant works as well.

For the less educated peeps, me included.

Finally got the pump out and set myself up in the garden for a fun afternoon



Didn't want to lose the O rings



Think I found the problem, shame that's the O ring that ain't arrived yet




Thought I'd give this a clean as well



Done as much I can till the other O ring arrives.

Knowing it would be a PITA to get the bottom nut on the HP fuel pump I thought I'd try and make it a bit easier so I 3D printed this



Had to cut a bit off the 22mm pipe cos a bit of the engine got in the way but I think it made it a lot easier.





Also did the crank case breather upgrade





And changed the air filter (after I took the picture)

O ring arrived at lunch time and 30 minutes later she's running again

Now all I have to do is put everything back together and fill her up with water and antifreeze.

All done, test drive completed

Happy times ahead then
