Lucky you! Leave it alone for now because they don't give trouble. Mine is now over 20 years old and getting on for 100,000 miles with no starting problems whatsoever. So unless you've been putting treacle in your tank, there's not much reason to suspect it.
I agree with
T-Cut about the 'blockage' and 'old petrol' ideas. My SD1 was also out of service for two years at one point and the petrol was fine. Let's remind ourselves of the fault:

OK so the petrol seems to be ok for one to five minutes and likewise for the 'blockage'.
Here's a suggestion Mike. Remove the petrol filler cap, leave it off and see if it will run for longer than five minutes.
