Just got it firing!
Over the past 20+ years I have had a huge amount of customers customers with this issue.
The cap comes to pieces very easily, taking note that the rotating part needs to go back as it came off, once it is off I put the part it sits on in a lathe and I skim a few thou off it, then reassemble it with lithium grease.
Hey presto it never sticks again, as always it is the E10 petrol in the UK that causes the problem, I replaced loads of these under warranty back in the day as warranty manager for the UK market but the new ones constantly failed and this was the only solution.
I hope that this helps.
