    just finished my conversion i started car yesterday with no exhaust on and started so turned off put exhaust on went to start and ran out of petrol so filled with petrol today went to start nothing then made a nice bang little bit of steam from near manifold. im guessing becuase if primes fuel system so many times it cant ignite what fuel is there or thats what im hoping any other ideas? baring in mind it started fine before doesnt help bat keeps dying

    Charge battery upto full

    replace fuel filter

    fill up with fuel (maybe 10-15 litres)

    ignition to 2nd click, let it prime, when it stops then try and start it.

    If no luck then take plugs out and see their condition. Leave plugs out for a few hours.

    Put plugs back in, try again.

    If no luck then something other than just fuel has changed - you touched cps?

    i guess thats my list for tomoro havent touched cps just baffled at why it would start then not start. if filter was blocked thed be a shortage getting to fuel rail which there isnt it to me seems like a lack of spark i guess ill whack them out and see i know fuel pump is priming nicely and waiting till it stops i took batery out has been on charge for few hours now.
