RE: Replumbing fuel system

Many thanks for the prompt responses.
Decided to pull the off-engine filter apart and the inlet connection was plugged with "stringy" material. (The PO had it down south a couple of times). This was probably the reason for the 1400 strokes (I had ensured the cam was correct by bleeding the "good "parallel filter).
I've managed to accumulate the various fitting I'll need to install the bulb, which I have so I'll give it a shot.
Phil, the electric pump would be ideal but I need to lay out the correct pipe routing then order the parts - rather than my normal Rube G. bodge-ups.
Still would be interested if anyone has used an outboard bulb!
I found some people in Michigan*who carry the conversion for *the single CAV on-engine for my Perkins HT6354 but want to really think it thru. I need to find replacement cannisters with 10 and 2 micron sizing - not sure what size is the generic I'm using for the 3 locations now.
Updates to follow.
Jon
