G'day
A bit of an update...
I'm not slow, I'm not fast, I'm just half-fast.
Reading the manual (unusual) it says replace hoses every 4 years after checking condition every 6 months. So I ordered the hoses. Took a month to gettem (on back order from Japan).
So yesterday I got brave and covered the garage floor in petrol. Also pulled the pump out and now I understand what most of your comments were about. The insulating boot is in pieces (I don't think it helps when it is soaked in fuel :-) ). I had to cut slots in those crappy screws to get them out so I'll track down hex heads today. Filters in the pump look reasonably clean, but I'll replace the paper one because I can't tell whether it's clean or not.
I'll be lucky if they are in stock I reckon.
Then I'll attempt a replacement without throwing all the bits down the driveway, and cover the floor with fuel again just before I replace the hoses :-)
Just in case, is that spare pump still available?
Regards
