My Gunbuggy had an electric (Facet) pump fitted and it ultimately decided it didn't wish to pick up fuel anymore. Changing the position of the pump made no difference.
I decided to go back to original diaphragm pump and that worked. Yes, if the vehicle is not used for 4 days or more (most of the time) the vehicle wont start due to no fuel delivery. I've found that with a slurp (technical measure) of fuel dropped down the carby, the vehicle starts and then the pump takes over.
Unfortunately, the problem is not cured completely, as the pump wont draw from the left hand tank even after countless removals of fuel lines and compressor applications to said lines. Not sure where I go from here except to only use the right hand tank.
