Fuel restriction.

Just an ordinary spring out of a bag of mixed ones I bought years ago (if you haven’t got one in your w/shop get one now). Unfortunately wasn’t my problem which turned out to be rust in the tank. After taking her out for another run, I soon realised I was in trouble. After limping home and removing fuel connection and attaching hose into container there was just a very slow trickle, it’s a wonder it ran at all. I have now cleaned out the tank and it’s fine, although I haven’t had a long run out yet.
Prior to winter layup last year I drained fuel and gave the inside a diesel wash on the 550. On the 750 I just filled right up with fuel. Looks like the fuel filled tank didn’t fare as well as the empty tank. It was good to carry out a comparison though. I will be going down the drain and diesel wash route from now on as recommended by NJ.
