If all else fails to provide an answer you could check that the gear on top of pump spindle has not sheared it’s tiny key and is rotating freely — happened to me back in early sixties while touring the west country. That was an engine out at the roadside job. Remember camping by the river near Shrewsbury for a few days while took the block off etc. got mild dysentery from drinking the river water without boiling it — rivers were polluted in them days too.
