I guess I will need to do a few regular checks as I clock up some miles just to make sure everything is tight. Damn cheapo parts!
Its a brand new pump which can be taken apart.
I too have seen it run very low and full up with no issues.
Thinking about it I may have to check the dizzy out as I am a little concerned why it only started up straight after I removed/refitted the dizzy cap.
I think I came across a similar problem with the mini's. The engine runs fine under load but on tick over its like it just doesn't pull the spark over enough.
Better do a full once over. valve clearances, timing, points, plugs & connections.
Worst ways could look at a 123 dizzy and electric fuel pump.
Hmm, I like the logic. But surely this can't happen every winter unless you change the head gasket each year. I better order some spare rocker cover gaskets for the future
It's the only logical explanation I can think of?
