The trouble started after I fitted a new fuel line and fuel tank wile fuel was being drawn from a petrol can I never had this problem now it's coming from the tank so that could be it there's no real work for the pump to draw from the tank than a bottle with no vent ( forgot to mention the new tank and pipe😠) so the pump could be the problem but I will check everything els mentioned thanks everybody
