Good to hear you solved the problem Gert, little things like this can be a real PIA to track down sometimes.

Only I was just wondering: you say you replaced the fuel pump for an electric one, and swapped a leaking SU with an other. Are you sure the problem was actually in the pump, not the carb? (in other words, a too-lean-to-start (vapour lock) or a too-rich-to-start (carb overflow) problem)
Also, did you try an other (mechanical) pump? I wonder if the problem was structural (over)heating of the pump, or just a faulty pump.

Cheers, Ben
