Michael, you have had suggestions of:-Float adjustmentFuel PressureIdle scr=
ew adjustmentSemi blocked or blocked lines (add filters)Vacuum leaks
Just to round things off I'll add=C2=A0ignition timing.Dashpot oil
Clogged up poppet valve
As it was running after you cleared the fuel lines last time and the pump s=
ounds to be running at all times it raises the question of=C2=A0=C2=A0where=
 is all that pumped fuel going to? =C2=A0This may suggest a problem with th=
e float operated shut off valve. Were fuel lines blocked the pump would sto=

he journey and it was ticking over OK (albeit with the choke on) when you l=
eft the house. =C2=A0As it runs OK at higher revs this may suggest it is NO=
T a blockage problem. =C2=A0

 What happens when you 'idle it up' (adjust idle screw)?=C2=A0 Perhaps it's=
 just set too low to idle.
What psi range does the pump run? =C2=A01.5 to 3.5 is good for these carbs,=
 right.
Chance of rust/junk in fuel lines, getting into the carb & jets?
No vacuum leaks...right?

Facet brand pumps don't stop running when up to pressure.  They keep right o=
n banging along.  It's not a "tick" like an SU pump either - very annoying.

ounds to be running at all times it raises the question of  where is all tha=
