Well im only going on what ive been told by this guy am buying it from.

This is roughly whats happening with it.

You start it it and it catches but it idles rough so it just kind of bubbles the revs sort of like how a subaru impreza sounds ..bah bah bah bah (black sheep) not a smooth idle like you would expect from a verticle piston engine.
As you squeeze the accelarator it struggles to get through the revs.

But if you lift the fuel pump cover and hit the top of the pump it'll idle fine.

Any ideas?

Its sitting in the yard at work at the moment (no tax) so im gonna borrow the works trade plates to get home and try and fix it at the weekend.

The guys givin me the workshop manual for it so that should help me along the way
