Having to think from memory as too cold to venture out into the dark pits of my garage (in a block - no elec) but doesn't have one? Fuel Line up to pump and then up to filter, that's all. Will have a good look tomorrow but where on tank does return go?, to see where it does go!

ok cheers all! Going to stick new pump in, but...........fuel pipe set up looks slightly different with three pipes coming off in total(?). But old one just had the two Whats the double one, help! Cheers

I'm sure its a 2.25, looks spot on for the manual picture, does anyone have an image of a 2.5 or a link to one? Cheers Nick

whats easiest way to tell if its a 2.25 or 2.5?

i'm more confused than ever!

papers recon its still a 2.25, looks like one, or is it? how does one tell? Sorry all new to this still

definately a STC1190 came out and a 563146 meant to be going in.

sometimes! but mostly not, but with no touching throttle still the same. Could it be just the wrong pump?

nope to both, just always seemed to strugle to start, once up and run for a bit was always fine and would start agian almost immediately, next morning though same problem again.

sorry for the shout, now calmed!
