Before I go pulling the pump again to do the shaft seal, has anyone known the cut-off solenoid to leak air in? I'm wondering if it only leaks in the de-energised position and that's why it runs ok once started.

Pressurize the system with an external pump, and you should be able to see fuel piss out the leak.

I've changed the shaft seal on the engine out of the car, and I think it could be done on car if you are patient and creative. Might only be worth it if you didn't have timing tools.
