[Peugeot-L] Peugeot 504 Cabriolet Fuel Injection problems

I've recently bought a very nice 504 cabriolet with the Kugelfischer fuel injection. I'm trying to sort out some problems with hot starting and the engine cutting out and refusing to re-start when it gets hot. Symptoms are it just drops back to tickover and no power at all - I can't get the revs up at all and then it won't re-start for about half hour.

I've changed all the the HT circuit so I'm suspecing fuel. I know my fuel pump is leaking slightly and maybe I'm losing fuel presure when it gets hot. Other symptoms are that it won't run above about 3000 rpm when hot when I floor the accelerator - it just misfires and loses power.

I've got a couple of questions:

  1. Is there anyone in the UK who can overhaul my fuel pump (not the injection pump but the one near the fuel tank.
  2. Is there an alternative pump I can use? What about a pump off a Triumph TR6 or 2.5 saloon that had the Lucas mechanical fuel injection system fitted?

Any help would be greatly welcomed because when its running nicely its a fantastic car. The 1971cc engine really is smooth with fuel injection and much better than the old carb 1971cc motor I had on my 505 Estate
