Has it been started several times without going anywhere? If so I would guess it\'s fouled up. Bump start it if you can find a good place.

well i have found the relay at the side of the drivers wing has been making funny sounds which i think has to do with the fuel system, so will test this tonight.

i used to just start mine let it run upto temp then switch it off, they really need a good run or plenty of revs to clear iuts throat! it could be your fuel relay (as you said) i would pull the plugs clean the up charge the battery etc just give it the best chance before trying it again:Thumbsup! then ring its neck with some nice 11\'s down the street:flamed
