Primer Pump Question
Hello to all (especially to anyone in NI), after always wanting a surf my last motor failed MOT on a long list of things, so two months ago I took myself over to England and bought my surf. Pleased as punch! Spent time beforehand browsing this forum, so with a network of so many well rounded, good natured, good humoured people as yourselves to ask for advise, what could possibly go wrong!
So for my first every question, simple as it my be:
Whilst giving my (not so) new surf a good overhaul it came to the fuel filter. I decided to check the operation of the hand priming pump before removing the filter, as I didn't want to find out it didn't work once I was trying to bleed the system. The pump only moves down about 10mm then springs back up. Tried pulling pump handle upwards but it is soild. Is it knackered or just not budging cause the filter is full of fuel?
Now to sit back and wait for a load of kind strangers to take the ####!
Rgds,
Geoff
