You know Barb has had running probs since I got her......

I reckon I might of finally got to the bottom of it all...... trial n elimination led to it having to be a fuel problem at the tank end.
But I really didn't want to have the ballache of dropping the tank out. So I figured go in through the fuel sender hole, open the bottom mesh hole and attempt scraping the worst of whatever out as I had nothing to loose if it didn't work. So duly got her front end up on ramps so I could access the underneth of the tank. Thankfully I didn't start at the bottom as decided to hand pump out the most of the fuel from the fuel sender hole first. Got a bright light in to be nosey and this........

2ft of it wrapped around the inner mesh!

Oh and half a plaster too, sadly not a Mr Man one, just a plain old pink one :lol:

That could well explain why Barb has been running poorly indeed!

Wonder how and why it got in there?
