Do you or >does anyone else know if there is a filter in the system somewhere? The one I fitted was similar to the ones used on the 96, (clear plastic). Its well worth doing, even if CD carbs arn't as sensitive to dirt as fixed jets. The pump was unlike any described in the haynes manual. I can take the top half off, but it appears the filter is integral to the valves. Must be a throw away part! Is yours a B-engine like mine? Also I notice H-engine cars (82>) have recirculatary fuel systems, which may help prevent vapour lock. christian
