:( There's plenty of other things it could be, I don't know if you saw the links here: http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... 86#p457073 Also, hoses can collapse inside, but a 'search' on the forum should give you some more help, if nobody pops in with advice.

probably in doone's links but have you tried to start it and run it with the fuel cap off,the breather can block.or check all the filters,including the banjo filter.check all the pipes from the tank.
you could fit a clear piece of pipework either side of the filter housing,and watch for air going through the system,that could help to point you in the right dirrection.

sorted

put the main fuel pipe into the injector pump , straight into a can of diesel , ran up straight away , then waited for a bit , then put the pipe back on the filter housing . been fine ever since . !

I have to agree with Ady.

You may have by-passed a fault but not found the source of the problem.

Keep us posted.

Another case of a leaf in the tank?
