Thanks everyone for all the good info and advice.
Have completed the job, sender out, tank removed, cleaned and flushed. Found the tank had a repair job but was still tight so no problem there. Reinstalled.....had some fun(?) getting the fill line and O ring to seal, ended up 3 x dabs of loctite did the trick. Stripped and cleaned fuel pump and flushed all lines, new filter and primed the system through and she fired up first 2 cranks. Took a while to balance the adjustments on the 4 bbl mixture screws and the setting on the accelerator pump but all up she's burbling along really nicely. Again, thanks for all the advice.
