these used a Peugeot engine but a difference I think was the fuel filter mounted on the bulkhead with a hand primer,these were very similar to an escort diesel which were notorious for drawing air at this point,they have a black buttoned hand primer,if it has one of these I would definitely try another/2nd hand one,sorry if I am wrong,it is a while since I worked on one of these,good luck.
