If that is the problem it sucks, I have a few more things to check first and hopefully I find out it is something minor.
I even fitted a lift pump when I was searching for a solution, to no avail. Could only suggest you douse the IP in cold water and see if lower operating temp. then helps it pick up the fuel.Cheers.
