Hi Dan
Thanks for your reply.
I have it running a little better now. I cleaned the carb and enriched the mixture. I haven't taken it out yet - waiting until tomorrow when the insurance agents open after easter. - the fuel filter level still drops. I will take it out for a run tomorrow and see. will look at the pump too.
I have traced the vac line to and from the light switch and they are ok. I have a feeling its the vac control/switch thingy that is next to the vac tank. Are these controllers servicable ?
Here is a link to my cars .. the first couple are the toro.
