Quick Update…
Due to the numerous failed attempts to start the car, I figured it was worth topping up the battery.
This morning I had my second attempt at getting to the bottom of my fuelling problem.
Eventually I found a kink in the fuel line near the rear of the car.
( Not easy to see in the photo. )
But the P-Clip bolt was next to impossible to reach, so I had to remove the wheel.
I then bit the bullet and cut the pipe off before the kink.
Note: I will be making a cleaner cut a little further back.
This allowed me to remove the hard pipe from this point back.
( Which runs through the boot floor and up to a rubber hose connecting it to the petrol tank. )
There was definitely something restricting/blocking this section of the pipe.
The good news is I was able to feed clothes line through from the front...
All the way through to the back of the remaining section of hard line.
I then had to quickly cover everything back up.
So I could try a local Motor Factors for some replacement copper and rubber fuel lines.
( I am going to replace all of the fuel lines while I'm at it. )
Unfortunately, they didn't have anything in stock, so I've had to order some from Ebay.
( But they will not arrive until mid week.
)
At this point I figured I should test/confirm the problem was this rear section of pipe.
So I reattached some pipes at the front to a jerry can.
I know a photo isn't the best way to show this, but the engine fired up with no issues.
I even left it running for a while just be be on the safe side.
To say I am a very happy bunny would be a huge understatement.
Until next time, take care, Paul.
PS
I have a ton of replies to post on other threads and I'll try to do that over the weekend.
