Hi guys
Tried starting the car today and the starter motor could turn the engine over, but the moment I take it out of start and into run on the ignition barrel - it dies.
I started to think it could be an earthing problem and I started to read up on possible issues with the electrics, checked the LT and HT leads were in, and had a look at the dizzy cap etc (not that I would know if there was a problem).
Then I remembered I replaced the fuel filter and I think I'm starving my engine of fuel.
I couldn't find any how to or whatnot on the subject of purging or cleaning the fuel lines or where to start checking?
What I'm asking is, if you guys suspect it of a blockage in the fuel line, how do you go about clearing the blockage? I know not to use plastic to contain fuel from experience..
Should I just start undoing pipework one at a time and emptying it out, blow some air from a can through or something?
Any advice would be appreciated thanks.
