The issue is undoubtedly internal to the pump. I plan to remove the top cover before considering a professional rebuild. I may attempt the petrol cleaning as described before removing the cover.

I haven't yet. I have a number of other things to work on so I am letting it sit full of fuel... I am optimistic but not hopefull that it will sort itself out! A friend up the road had the same thing happen on an old tractor with the DPA pump and was able to sort it with a bit of wd-40 while...

Definitely a very good point that I have been considering. May end up sending my spare for overhaul and being done with it! If I do that, I may pull the top cover just for info/experience.. I do recall seeing that image as well! Thank you for the info, I will have a look at the link.
