Thanks for that Dave, I dont take a lot of self takes atm, so thats not something I'd thought about, so will look at the 35mm.
Think I read somewhere tho I need the AS-F-G model as the AS-F wont auto focus on my D40??

Been looking at this one????

It's between posts 76 and 1158 (don't ask me why)
if your having issues then read through this...
if you pump it up until you feel some resistance on the pump then you know its pressurised. if it still wont feed petrol through then the genny is blocked.
if you get no petrol flow then gently open the petrol filler cap. there should be a hiss as you release the pressure. this will tell you the seal on the pump is working and the seal on the petrol tank is ok. if there is no build up of pressure, and no hiss when you open the fuel cap then the pump washer needs oiling/changing.
you can buy a new genny [about a tenner] but always best to try and clean the old one, as youve nowt to lose!
if its not burning "clean", which means a good balance of air and fuel. the blue flame shows its working correctly.
to get it to run clean you need to have;
clean unleaded fuel.
pressure.
working genny.
to check the fuel is clean empty the petrol into a clear plastic [wide mouthed] bottle and look at it. i always fill my stove from fuel container into plastic bottle with a filter funnel. then into the stove.
i add a small amount of redex injector cleaner [from a car shop/halfords/etc] at the recommended dosage. do not overdo it as you will gum up the stove!
[the fuel should just change colour and have just a tinge of pink to it] use 5ml to 5 litres, but no more!
to ensure you have pressure check the pump washer is not split, and smear in some light oil. check the fuel cap seal looks ok. you should feel the pressure build up and it become difficult to pump. then you know its holing pressure.
the genny is a hollow tube that allows the fuel through. as it flows along it turns to vapour due to the heat of the stove and the pressure in the fuel tank. there is a thin wire inside the genny that runs back and forward as you turn on and off. this is to try and de-coke the inside of the genny to ensure a easy flow of fuel/vapour.
it is easy to clean an old genny by carefully extracting the wire and cleaning the gunge off with the edge of a knife. be careful not to dig it in and kink the wire! put the empty genny into a small pan with some boiling water and a spot of fairy liquid. this will clean out most of the residue.
thoroughly dry and re-assemble... sorted.

You could try removing the generator pipe and simmer it in a pan of water with a good squirt of fairy liquid for about 15-20mins, it usually helps clean the carbon deposits off the inside of the pipe, but there's no guarantees......otherwise a new genny costs about £13 and takes two mins to fit.

Flash, I'm presuming there's fuel in it, so it sounds like the generator might be blocked.

Probably easier to make one up yourself mate if you have access to a laminator.
Just back from the hospital, and the docs are still not 100% sure if I have actually contracted Leptospirosis or if it's a Viral infection, either way my Liver and Protein counts are up enough to warrant the intravenous anti biotics.....just need to see how I get on for the rest of the week.....got the district nurse coming round for the next cpl of days to do the drip and canula so at least I don't have to trapse backwards and forwards to the hospital evry day!!
Just like to thank Ken and everyone else who has contributed to this thread, if it wasn't for the info posted in here, I might not have even got as far as the hospital.
