I think the yellow connector can need replacing even if there are no obvious signs of burning. Cut the 2 wires going in either side and crimp together (my VIS had a 3rd redundant wire).

I had 2 instances where my pump didn't prime:

The first was when a tiny hole appeared in the top of the Walbro, out of which petrol leaked and caused the power-connector to come loose.

The second was when the inline fuse on the power cable to the pump from the battery melted in it's fuse holder.

I should check if I even have a tow hook. Necessary if you go on a track day! Never looked inside my tool box.

This is an idea for kenny to check.

Used an inline spade holder rated to 30a with a 15a fitted and it's all good, I wish I was that lucky lol!

Did you get a multimeter on it yet?

Ross

p.s. how much fuel did you put in at the fuel station? Have you tried re-setting the ecu i.e. disconnecting the battery for 30-45mins?

No meter on it yet, popped into my work and found an old school fluke that I hope just needs batteries which I'm going to try.

I put in about 30 litres , pain in the chuff if I need to change the pump again!

Not tried the battery off yet will do that once I get the spawn of Satin to sleep.

Problem being now the battery is flat the car was deposited nose first up the drive so i can only try to jump start when the neighbours drive is empty!

I don't imaine booster packs would have enough guts to turn over a coupe?

Top prize

If they fully charged, yes.

Ross

p.s. you get my pm - cats and dogs here!

I have a meter you can have,but Im leaving early doors tomoz .

Pick it up when you drop of the milk ( the green one )

I have a good multimeter.

Ross

I have a few test meters too, who is closest?

Well he's near stepps/riddrie, I'm in cambuslang. Ronnie is near Paisley but away to Tatton for the weekend.

Ross

Stepps,eh? I'm in moodiesburn so do i win the prize?

Yes, get that bloody milk of him

Is that the prize? Disapointing!

If your in moodiesburn, just head down at the same time as me for a mini-meet!!

Ross

When would that be, i'll try & pop in.

Lol, just seen all the posts. Any help much appreciated.

Found an old Fluke in work but once I fired a new battery it failed it's own continuity test

As said all help appreciated , currently got the battery disconnect to hopefully see if that sorts things.

P.s milk is in the fridge

I'll be heading in to town tomorrow morning so i can drop off a multimeter if you want. PM me your address/mobile number and i'll have a root about in my van.
