I'm no expert but after rebuilding the fuel system on my Coupe, adjusting the CO leaner than around 2.0 caused it to run unevenly. Haynes manual specifies 1.0-2.0.

No probs. Just had a quick look at ETKA for 1987 KU, the non-return valve is indeed attached to the pump outlet :tup:

I haven't disconnected the cable to try that yet, but it's definitely a good starting point, thank you. My gut feeling is that the creaking is coming from the pedal over centre spring but the...

I suppose it's possible. I know of one other A reg white Coupe on the road but of course that could be a 1983 A reg.

I haven't seen one on the road for a very long time, 10+ years.
