The fuel tank strainer was bent and split. I fitted a new one and cleaned out the fuel tank.

Note: The fuel tank ejector 'hoover' actually removed far more debris than the film suggests. I'd previously tried it (just to see if it worked) and a torrent of particles shot out of the top. Definitely worth cleaning the tank now and then.
