Dutton Kit Cars and their owners
Accelerator Pump.
Full of lovely gunk and all the fuel passages were nicely blocked. Not pictured, but the part-load enrichment valve was in the same state and stuck solid.

Been looking at these ones - quite a lot in there and my inner engineer will demand that everything that can be replaced, is replaced! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-T25-T3-Carburettor-Rebuild-Kit-Pierbur...

I'm hoping not to have to bother rebuilding it - the kits are dead cheap but I am fairly sure I'll end up doing more harm than good if I try to strip and rebuild it completely.
I could only get it running by dumping fuel down the carb from a bottle. I disconnected the pipe between the pump (engine bay) and the carb, and there was no fuel coming through. I put a bottle of fuel into the pump inlet pipe and turned her over, and got fuel through ok. So the pump's working, it's just not drawing from the tank.

Thanks for that Darryl - I'll have a look if I decide to change the tank. Hopefully I won't have to go that far! There was only a tiny little bit of crap in the gauze filter at the carb fuel inlet pipe, but I do know it's not drawing through from the tank at all. Once I've got the engine running ok that'll be my next thing to investigate.

Believe or not that's petrol, not coolant!
