Finest piece of English I have read (or tried to read) for many a year.

I do not reply to textspeak or unpunctuated posts on the grounds that if the poster can not be bothered to try, I will be ###### if I am going to help.

Not very helpful but God (and I) help those who help themselves.

The most helpful advice I can offer is not to try to fiddle with those pumps unless you know what you're doing. It's not like a distributer on a petrol car where you slacken it off and wiggle it around until it sounds about right. A couple of degrees can make a big difference on those engines.

We don't normally make a big issue about correct English on this forum, but in this case I do agree with the comments above.

We'd like to help, 56512, but there's no point in my moving this to Technical as I normally would, as I think it would defeat most people who kindly offer advice. You do need at least to make yourself clear, particularly as your E-mail address suggests that English is your first language.
