Turns out the problem is in the tank ,as i disconneted the rubber hose off the tank to the pump ,ran a new hose from the pump to a petrol can to act as a new fuel source and the pump runs nice and quiet ,also when i uncrimped the rubber hose from the bottom of the fuel tank expecting loads to gush out, only a dribble came out and this is with a full tank !!!!!!!!!!
