Mike I am sorry my problem has taken over your thread, but the news is good as yourself, Lynn and Richard have given me the answer to my problem. My C8 has the regulation carbi Solex 35/40 FVS and pressure has been my problem, I reinstalled the manual fuel pump, isolated the 12v pumps which are lifters close to the fuel source so work on about 4 psi and fired up the engine. The fuel/air mix screw was effective and I adjusted the idle, job done. I removed the manual fuel pump after to give it a service prior to final installation, I will go for a run tomorrow just to be sure all is good. I have left the 12v fuel pumps and the in line filters installed as I may use them for priming later down the line and don't seem to worry the system, I have the same 12v pumps on my Austin Champ so the later Solex carbi must be ok with the extra pressure. Many thanks to you all for the sound advise. Look forward to more pictures of your restoration Mike as it progresses.
Paul
