Won't run on petrol

Does this mean you're sorted, young man? Had a rummage in my spares/junk room, I literally have one spare but sounds like you're back on the road again?

Sorry mate, just got back yesterday and haven't even looked at the forum 

Yes. i'm sorted.
Got a new one for 23 quid delivered off Nicks link 
Feel free to pop around if you need any bits or you want to plug my laptop in 

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Okay, have new pump.
Fuse 18 is okay.
Relay clicks according to our lasses fingers 


How the fick do you get these black rubberised collars off the top of the pump / float housing ?

I have hovered it out and had a play with penetrating spray and also idiotted my hand with a hammer too 

Is it a standard thread ?

I do have a old assembly sat here but having had more then one sleep in the last 10 years it has been sat in my spares box, can I fick remember which way the turns 

[tigers_gonads]

Will do. Very glad you're sorted, lad.

The proper tool is a fitted spanner, that firmly grips the collar without damaging it. They are expensive, and aren't universal. You could reverse engineer one in CAD and have it laser cut, or cut and file one by hand.

In the real world, large water pump pliers or careful work with a hammer and drift are the usual methods.

Just come off 13, 11 hour night shifts with only 2 days to wash clothes 
Careful means a slightly smaller hammer 

Cheers Nick

In that case I would suggest that the only careful job you do is opening another cold beer.

Big fat, old blunt screwdriver, similarly blunt cold chisel, or noggin of wood and a hammer, tapping at different places to get it going, then you tend to find one bit just 'bites' better and once it starts it goes pretty easy. In an estate you've bags more room than a saloon, too.


Oh, I'm doing the same job myself this weekend, so I feel your pain, so to speak, you're not alone!

Got totally pished off with idiotting my knuckles with a lump hammer so went for another fumble in the loft and found a old collar off one of my many omega's that I have pulled apart over the years.
5 minutes with a old wood chisel and some more abuse from a screwdriver and the old one fell apart leaving me to just lift it off, do the business and rebuild it all 

Turned the key and it fired up first time 

As always. thanks lads

Well, the smash off and replace method works very well, too! Glad you're back on the road, and tough wood that lift pump will be fine for donkeys now 


Few weeks and we'll try and get over to say hello again, man
