James, your problem is almost certainly a sticking needle valve in each float chamber lid. This comes about over time on all delrin valves and is caused by varnis build-up in the fuel. Its a simple procedure to rectify. Remove each valve and carefully but thoroughly abrade it with some fine glasspaper - especially along the fins and fin corners at either end. Then roll some new paper into a tube shape and ride it up and down the valve housing in each lid. I was given this solution by an AA man forty years ago on my Sprite and I've used it ever since. Did the same to the SU's on my 2000 only a fortnight ago and everything now running perfick.
