Thanks Bruce and Dave. I was running NGK 5s previously. When I went for the dyno the tuner Davor advised me to put 6s in. Would have been 10,000km ago and no issue until recently.

The beauty of the old glass bowl pumps, I could see it was low. There were no apparent leaks or breakages when I took it off in the Main Street of Hahndorf Sunday morning. When I took it off again home in the shed all the fuel ran out the in pipe. Pretty obvious really. Anyway, fingers crossed as always.
