I have no business writing about a TR3 but what the heck, that never 
stopped me before.

I know it isn't pertinent, but.  At least once in the life of the 
Spitfire 1500 they changed either the fule pump mount or the length 
of the arm or both.  The result was that early and late fule pumps 
were not interchangeable.  Are you sure somehow yours didn't have 
some critical feature changed during the rebuild?  Maybe your engine 
isn't the year you think it is?

That sounds like a clogged fule line.
