Okay. Before I spend Easter Monday mauling with this beast a couple of questions to, hopefully, prevent me from 'barking up the wrong tree'.
In the fuel tank diagram that I've - hopefully - attached it shows an 'elbow' at the bottom of the tank. Excuse my ignorance but what is the purpose of this? It doesn't appear to attach to anything and may have nothing to do with my problem but if I know what it's for then that will help.
Is it possible to withdraw the fuel pipe from the tank? If so, would that be a wise move?
A couple of things I also ought to point out. I got the tractor second hand and, it seems, the previous owner indulged in a bit of butchery with the wiring. I recently discovered,as well, that the fuses have mostly been replaced with those of a 25amp rating. Far too high, surely?
