Thomas-
An electric fuel pump will work nicely to solve the problem. Be sure
to get a low pressure version ( around 3 psi I believe). I installed mine
right under the gas tank, above the leftside R. Axle. Also added a hidden
switch ( and I'm not tellin' where) as a security device.
I doubt the fuel is 'dropping' back into the tank, rather I'd bet it is
'dropping' on the workshop floor!
Good Luck!

The actual problem I have is that it starts very bad after not driving 2
days.
The starter is a brand new starter from Mitsubishi. We have the correct
adapter
available here. The battery is new as well. The motor configuration is
original
with SU H6 carburetors. They are known to "drop" the fuel after a while,
which
means the fuel slowly flows back to the tank. Due to the mechanical fuel
pump
the starter has to run the engine until the fuel pump transported the fuel
the
whole way back to the carburetors. But this, I think, is propably only one
of
the possible reasons. I wonder if it gets better after installing an
electric
fuel pump.
best regards
