So here=E2=80=99s the story completed.
The tank was emptied enough to get the fuel pump off.
So I replaced the contact points and had these adjusted.
Also replaced the membrane and gasket.
Before assembling it all, I thoroughly cleaned and flattened the flanges, w=
here between the new membrane and gasket were to be tight.
This went well and the pump is in good working order again.
Next job is the slow starter motor.
I already cleaned the battery posts clamps and the post of the battery to c=
hassis cable.
Also cleaned thoroughly the chassis to engine cable.
Nothing helped so far.
So next will be verifying the battery voltage when cranking. I assume it wi=
ll be o.k. as the battery is new.
Following step will be measuring the voltage over the starter motor +12V to=
the engine.
When o.k., the starter is suspect. As it never was overhauled, this is logi=
cal.
Nice winter job.
Cheers,
Hans

I had the same problem. I disconnected the fuel hose, added a a long bit of=
hose and with the coil disconnected, used the fuel pump to pump old fuel i=
nto jugs.
