The pick up pipe is separate to the sender unit, isn't it?

Hi Steve yes I’ve replaced them one was a bit old but doesn’t seem to make a difference
No it’s just one unit sender is half way up the pick up pipe I’m going to start again tomorrow morning and go through everything SLOWLY ONE THING AT A TIME.

That's is what I do, personally I think you would need to try quite hard to get it wrong.
When it is then operate the hand pump to see if it works, you might need to turn the engine to do this as it only works with the cam in certain positions. When testing it I take the inlet pipe to the filter off (at the filter)to make sure it delivers a good squit of fuel.

The pump lever should be inserted so it’s above camshaft and the cam then pushes lever up and down when running
If the high point on cam is pointing up when you prime it won’t work so need to turn crank a bit so lever on lower part of cam

So I’m Iyes and straight to the injector pump I’ve tried so many different things I’ve forgotten what I’ve done had help from a great mate so I think we’ve only got the pick up pipe in the tank to check but that’s only 2 months old had problems with that as the float is sitting on the baffling and not sowing when empty but that’s a different story.
Bend the float arm, they get fecked in transit ...

Also known as an agglomerator, but rarely called that as no bugger can spell it!

Might have been mentioned before!Hi everyone first of all i want to thank everyone who has been helping me out with my problem I have finally found the problem
Still odd that it would make it stall though, hope it's fixed.

When I had air getting in to my fuel system it was the elbow on top of the tank that had a crack in it.
still got a vacuum on the bleed screw I’ve cut 5mm off the bottom of the pick up pipe seems to have worked so far. It’s now pumping fuel out of the bleed screw off for a test drive via the pub so if it does pack up at least I can drown my sorrows Anaconda
