Re: [doc] Non Start - Advice Please

["Robin Simpson" <rps@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All

Well, had an hours worth of fiddling before it got too cold and too 
dark and still nothing !

Swapped the regulator plug to the cold start valve which made no 
difference, pump is definately working, RPM relay is working as the 
revcounter works when cranking, there is power to the coil, and 
theres a fuel smell after continued cranking.

Am gonna get an assist in the morning and see if we've got sparks to 
the plugs, and if so I have no idea !

All the fuel filters we changed less than 3000 miles ago as was all 
of the injectors, metering head, fuel pressure regulator and coil.

Will keep you posted.
