Got fuel any ideas?

There was meant tobe a video there???

OK, assuming you've got sparks, your k-jet system need priming.

They can be a bugger to get started with air in the system.

Here's what I do.

Hot wire the fuel pump relay so it runs constantly.

Take the boot off the fuel metering head and pull up gently on the air flow flap.

This will allow fuel to flow to the injectors and get the air out of the lines.

Don't over do it or you'll flood the engine.

You'll hear the injectors squeal when there's fuel getting there. The noise is called pintle rattle in the books.

Put the boot back on, re-instate the fuel pump wiring and with a bit of luck it'll start right up.
