Thanks again for the suggestions. As posted earlier, I fitted a new pump and filter as per the group instructions and all running again. Thanks to Ian and Andrew for the write up information.

A couple of things I can add to them for next update; the kit supplied by Glencoe contains everything except the spade connectors and fuel filter. The Walbro filter supplied comes filled with oil! I didn't know that as it's not been mentioned before. I decided to leave it filled when fitting as presumably it helps to get it flowing, lubricates the metal pump and, I understand, Walbro pressure test them at the factory.

Also note, the new mesh filter in the kit has a small tab where it fits the pump. Unfortunately if you try to fit the locking washer over the plastic tip it won't fit over (wrong size). Furthermore, the locking tab puts the filter in the wrong position when you re attach the pump base rubber and plastic feet. So the tab needs to be removed with a sharp blade to allow the filer to be turned 90 degrees in the correct orientation.

Another final thing I learned, which I expect a few others may have thought about. I couldn't get my head round the fact you have an open, positive and negative terminal completely exposed in the fuel tank. I couldn't work out how the whole thing doesn't go bang given its immersed in petrol. Well not having done physics at school it turns out that petrol does not contain Ions, so is in effect completely non conductive. Well bugger me!! 🤪😬🤣🙃🫠

The instructions we did list everything you need for the pump change. Glencoe Ltd. do a "kit" as they were selling lots of Walbro pumps for M3W's, we have nothing to do with what they chose to supply as a kit...and don't get any reward either ☹️. Not sure what you mean by the "Walbro Filter" filled with oil? Is this the Mahle KL167 filter /regulator? If it is they usually are supplied empty. There are several mesh filters available that fit, not sure what Glencoe are supplying, I cleaned and refitted the original item. Agreed that immersing a fuel pump and its electrical connectors in petrol never seems like a good idea but many cars do it, thanks for the explanation. Glad it all works and hopefully will for many more miles.

Fuel filter, what I meant was the fuel pump has oil in it 🤭

As posted earlier, I fitted a new pump and filter as per the group instructions and all running again.

Confused - you posted earlier that after fitting the new fuel pump it still wouldn't run???

The Glenco supplied filter does not fit, I reused the original one, again.

A bit of feedback to Glencoe by kit buyers may make them change the filter spec to one that does fit?
