hi, kev its hard to explain but everytime i run it and warm it up it runs totally differant  i,m running it on the pipe work that came with it and it has a 3/8ths copper pipe from the tank to the mechanical lift pump and a return from the lift pump back to the tank but thats only 3/16ths (brake pipe size) i,m wondring if its part of the problem? ,as the mixtur tends to varie quite abit and the choke is an odd set up (odd to me as it works of vacume temp on the inlet manifold,, i,m sorley tempted to make a manual conversion (if only temporey) the mixture variation is so bad at times that i,ve had black soot smoke out of the exhuast at on point,,, and bright blue flame,s at another , i can,t run it at the moment as i,v got other bits of it,, but before i run it again i,m going to clean the carb out and blow the jets through, |

Hi Mike dont the fuel return pipe come off the carb and not the pump. hi terry , thats the unesual thing about it its factory made return from the top of the mechanical pump but its a smaller bore than the carb feed , it seems to me as though the carb is getting to much or varieing fuel pressure ,, may try running it on a gravity feed and see if its any better ,, |

What you on Mike? Wish I could get a large dose of enthusiasm like you got, so I can crack on with the Phaeton. Keep thinking I should be doing something, then this mysterious invisible force pulls me away from the workshop and right into my chair in front of the telly
