Petrol pump are fairly simple to take apart just undo a few crosshead screws and it comes to bits. Nothing startling appeared and we being to put the pump back together, quietly resigned to removing the fuel tank and then we found a curious object. A small brass countersunk rivet was lying amid the pump bits. Problem solved.
Cheered by this thought, we took our pump outside to reattach it. The engine spluttered into life for a few seconds, before cutting out again. Time and again it repeated the same process. The problem was that the tube dryed out and petrol needed to be coaxed through. It time running until new tuned it off.
