Only the fuel in the supply pipe to the carb can do this, not the fuel already in the float chamber. Remember the float chamber is vented via a tube to the carby throat so the requirements for syphoning are not met.
Excellent.... the car is actually sitting behind me while I work from home.... So I just looked down the carby. It all seems tight, and the fuel pump will squirt fuel. So my issues are the pump draining off and needing to reprime itself before the car will start, not the fuel bowl draining offOnly the fuel in the supply pipe to the carb can do this, not the fuel already in the float chamber.

I think its light 15.You could lap the valves on a sheet of glass and some fine wet and dry to ensure they are flat. But lapping their seats accurately would require some specialised gear.
Your pump is quite different from mine as I cannot remove the valves from the body without prising out brass retainers. It looks like yours is a pump from a six. What diameter is the pump body?
Its about 10cm across the body. unless you break the glass, I can't see a pump ever wearing out while you can buy the rebuild kit ?That CAS page explains my query! It is for an SEV pump! Mine are Guiot pumps.
I actually have an SEV pump here. I always thought it was from a Six. Could you please tell me the diameter of the pump body? If it matches this one here then you can have it for a spare.
I believe there is also a short piece of flexible line from the fuel pickup to the hard line on top of the fuel tank, which leads to the wheel arch. This is accessible through a small hatch in the floor of the boot.Same dimensions as the one I have here! Flexible line from under the wheel arch to the mainline under the floor pan.
It would be good to have a spare with a good glass. Yours if you want it! It is of no use to me as I have spares of the Guiot type as fitted to my car.
Also has a good priming lever!
Yes if you have a large boot (trunk) model. Shane's is a 51.I believe there is also a short piece of flexible line from the fuel pickup to the hard line on top of the fuel tank, which leads to the wheel arch. This is accessible through a small hatch in the floor of the boot.
