Hi all, Does anyone know where I can get a new spring for the priming lever on my fuel pump. None of the C/S seem to list them. To be honest it has not worked for about the last 5 years but I have managed with it as all works well provided the priming lever is left in the down position. Yesterday I had a senior moment (not difficult at my age) and left it in the up position. I then spent well over 30 mins trying to find out why it would not run.
John Mason.
P.S. I am not loosing it. Honest
Would you believe it "Her who must be obeyed" refers to my Ruby as the toy.

Make your own from piano wire - available from aeromodeler shops (If you can find one).

Thank you both for your replies. As I am now only partially sighted I will leave it as it is. I find it a challenge just to replace parts without making them first.
Just to put all your minds at rest I don't drive anymore I leave that to my son. Passenger seat only for me.
