Progress Report on Fixing Paddy - Update Test 15 AGAIN!!

Guys,

Paddy stalled really badly this morning, so I bit the "pride" bullet and called The Diesel Specialist again to have a chat. We both had a laugh, I did indeed have it the correct way round the first time (Still don't fully understand the reasons, but correct never the less). I took Paddy round to his place this morning to have a look at the Fuel Primer Pump as I told to him that it appears to be now leaking fuel more noticeably and wanted him to have a look and confirm the replace part.

The Primer Pump was indeed leaking, he confirmed that it was the 60mm bolt on housing version and not the 100mm, and has ordered one which should arrive tomorrow for $80-$100. If this ends up being the problem, then I'm going to be a little pissed at the previous Diesel Specialist who I had taken the primer pump to at the very start of my tests to check to see if it was leaking. They said they had tested it and it was fine and they did not charge me for the test Hmmmmmmmm...... Maybe with all the priming I've had to do I've just put it though it paces and wore it out ?????? or am I being a bit paranoid, and have the right to think they did not actually test it see Test 8 ????

At the end of the day I don't care, If this works I'll just be one happy camper and glad that its fixed.

Regards
Mark
