Thanks for the replies, i've checked and done all the oils and grease, but i am getting low vacuum - not sure if the throttle is all ok on the engine, could do with someone in the know coming and helping (paid for of course!)

you mean the filter in the 'in box' ?

it looks ok - its all gone a bit dark now so i have finished looking!

i was going to connect the hose without the filter in when i can to see if it makes a better vacuum - obviously i wont send anything down the hose without a filter in

the filter looks clean but rusted up a bit inside

That metal filter needs to be as clean as possible, best off pressure washing it. The throttle lever sometimes slips back if the screw has come loose. Tighten it up to stop it slipping.
