    Thanks for that Alan.

    I don't think I'll bother getting into the Solex since I've got a brand new
    Weber sitting on the shelf where it has been for the last four months
    waiting for me to get at it.

    And it's not a problem that really bothers me anyway. An additional six
    seconds of cranking is not a hardship. Mind you, before I replaced the
    fuel pump I had to crank between 40 and 50 seconds before ignition. Now
    that can result in tears at the side of the road after trying to start a
    cold-soaked engine and battery at -25C.
