I broke down in my R4 'Noddy' today, and discovered that the fuel filter was completely empty ? Even though I fitted a new fuel pump/filter and carburettor ? So I turned the engine over like crazy for a long while and the the fuel filter finally filled up, and I was lucky enough to drive back home to my main gate...when the same thing happened again ! Maybe a fuel pump diaphragm problem ? Will investigate tomorrow.
Now my ignition key has broken in half and no spare ! Managed to get the broken bit out. Will have to get a couple of new ones cut. So not having a good day.
UPDATE: I think I have found the problem ? I replaced the original 'vented' fuel cap with a new locking cap that was 'un-vented' so it created vacuum in the fuel tank stopping the fuel coming through.
