Good grief!! it must have been a good pub lunch, the trailer's upside down!

Hi all,

I have finally managed to buy a new old stock Stuart Turner No. 10 pump for my Albatross (like rocking horse sh*t!). When I tested it, it wouldn't self-prime, is this normal? does it need boat movement to push water up the little inlet scoop?

I've already thought of that!

No "headroom" in an Albatross bay for downdraught carbs - I have a lovely pair of dellortos (jetted for a crossflow) but I don't think there's room for them either!
