TomsFocus Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Are you using a hand pump or just filling the filter with fuel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Hmm, ok, if you've got a helper, try pumping the hand pump while turning the engine over. Also worth checking you haven't switched the inlet and outlet pipes over, I can't remember if they're different sizes. Is the battery decent or has it been run down by failed starting attempts?

Geordiedave68 Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 It's on charge now overnight. Pipes same size no indication of which is which. Is there anyway to check? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordiedave68 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 After full charge primed filter turned on and off half a dozen times then cranked engine, started after about 20 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
