i found when i was ironing out problems just to try as many things as i could in my garage. Stopping it starting it again after 30 mins then longer, then letting it heat up so that the fan comes on. Just to be sure if i was stuck in traffic that it was going to work :). You'll get through any teething problems if you have any though just drop me a u2u or ask us on the board. You'll find the answer somewhere in the valver community ;) | |

all if fine now :D , only thing i can think it was, i noticed air flow plug wasnt plugged in properlly yesterday after we couldnt get it started, im wondering if it had flooded the engine as it has fired up straight away this morning and is running sweet apart from a little bit of tapping but didnt have it running that long. | |

if its sparking on all cylinders and fuel is getting into the engine, then it should fire up. the only other thing is compression but if u have just had it running it shouldnt be a problem | |

Right, had it all in and ready, took plugs out and turned it over to get up some oil pressure, put plugs back in, fired up straight away first time, sounded bit rough but started to sort its self out, anyway turned it off for a min, went to start it again and wont start, turns over but doesnt even try, fuel is getting there, and plugs are sparking, any ideas :boggle: |
