Yeah, I think the ones on eBay are bought from Ali Express and then marking them up and moving them on. If I remember they took about 10 days from China. I did swap the locking nut for a 12mm nyloc and put some 'O' ring lube on the shaft. I thought for £15 I would take a chance and when they arrived ...

The ...

Martin,
Thanks for the input, I have sought to eliminate the fuel tap issues and the vapour lock by setting up a temporary fuel tank also a little bit of gravity to make sure the float bowls are getting fed.
