The fuel pickup is soldered into the tank and I would not recommend trying to remove it. With the vapouriser and the cleaning pinion removed, it...
This shows all the symptoms of too much fuel or not enough air. Here are some questions to get more information. 1. You say you have changed the...

The different angle of the pump could be as simple as the pump tube being knocked in a bit. There was no real difference in the design of the tank...
