Thanks for the reply,

she starts, and starts easily the second time. The first crank wont start the engine,
I have done a little research and see there is a vacumb fuel regulator. And it looks like I need a special fuel gauge to test this regulator. I would guess the pump is ok, and probably the fuel filter too, I have turned the key on for a brief period (letting the pump make pressure)before trying to start and there is no change, cranks the first time, starts the second time

Anyone had any expirence with this?
