So the scene moves on to 2010. I went to get the car out of the garage and it wouldn't start, well it would fire OK but wouldn't run. It had been standing for a couple of months over the winter. The fuel tank was a bit low so I added some fresh petrol and tried again. Still would not run.
It was firing OK but that was all. Hmmm.
Dirt in the fuel line/pump maybe?
Flushed it all through, cleaned out the pump filter and tried again. Still the same. Hmmmmmm.
Checked the float chambers to see if they were clean but found the fuel level well down, Ah, dodgy fuel pump maybe? Fitted the spare fuel pump ( we all have one I assume?) and tried again.
YES, SORTED, RUNS OK !!
Then I noticed the fuel leak, petrol was dripping from the new fuel pump. I found there was no way I could get the lid to seal properly. It was one I had bought ages ago "just in case" from Ebay- like one does - so no hope of a refund.
Robsport came to the rescue with a new one delivered next day and worked a treat.
BACK ON THE ROAD AGAIN. yeeeehaa.
