Again turned it over and over and it finally started. Lights turn green and it stops again. As I'm at the lights a chap knocked on the window to say I was leaking fuel all over the road.
Got it started again this time had to rev it up to 4 thou to keep it running. Got it home turned it off. Said some very nice words and started it up again.
Started first turn and ran fine. Did this five times and every time started and run fine. Not looked at it yet to see what's going on .
But I now know
Battery is a good one after the amount I had to turn the engine over to start it.
Zt don't like green traffic lights as it would cut out every time on green.
And it's going to be cheap to run as I can't fill the tank up now.
And sounds good on hi revs
So......... why was there ‘fuel all over the road’?
