Re: Buying in Europe and selling in Australia

@tackleandtax - We went ahead, though not quite as originally intended!

Re: Fuel not priming after filter change

Hi Steve. Yes - we have the 'mushroom' style manual pump on the top of the housing that the main filter screws into. It worked a few weeks ago after running out of fuel, but not now after changing...

Thanks guys.

We're hauling out soon so will take the opportunity to trace the rest of the wiring and make sure all the ground connections are good.

Will also try and be a bit more methodical if...
