So the vent and overflow pipes were all good. I pushed some air through them from the 2 metal pipes at the bottom of the tank and air flowed freely, plus the rubber hoses that run down from the rubber cup under the tank were all clear as well so no excuses there.
New cap arrived as well so that's now fitted.
On the old original cap it had a plate with a pin hole that lowered specifically on to the orange rubber housing. The rubber housing covers the breather pipe that goes straight through the tank from top to bottom, and protects it from any fuel going down it.
The replacement cap doesn't have that plate, so if anything it will now have access to even more air.
If there was any lack of venting then it will be inside the cap mechanism itself, so now i've got a shiny new one i can rule this out if it ever plays up starting again.
Won't really know now until it's sat outside work all day again, which won't be 'til next week when i go back, so i'll be back if it ever doesn't start. :thumbup
