Sambo

I haven't said it here but am using a Carter pump to scavenge from the main tank to the swirl pot, and the fuel return hits the swirl pot.

Not sure which model the Carter is but I bought them together as part of another redundant project. That was the problem I guess, not new, supposedly little use but no idea of history. I can only guess perhaps that the bosch has been inadvetantly plugged in at some stage without fuel. That would kill its bearings quick smart.

However really now just want to knock over the issue and get some reliability, and if that means a new pump so be it, but it will be new this time!!

I might get a mechanic mate to hook up a pressure gauge to see what the pump is pushing live, that might tell us something too.

Cheers
