Fuel pump issues, HELP please :)

Ok thanks guys! will ground the plate (not obvious the plate is a ground, thought was just a cover for safety) and have another look, maybe take apart the wiring the previous person did to make sure is soldered properly and insulated.

The plate is the one that\'s oval shaped on top of the fuel tank, not the rectangular ally one that\'s in the boot which the wiring passes through ;-)

Just making sure ;-)

How\'s it going - did you figure out if the pump is dead ?

will investigate tomorrow, weather permitting

woo hoo!! gotr it sorted now. turned out to be a dodgy ground on the white plug that sits on the fuel tank.
Fuel sender also works too now. Started up 1st time

just smokey due to oil in the exhaust (i hope its just that).

Anyone know the best way to clean excessive oil in the exhaust without taking the whole exhaust off?

Take it for a nice long spin :yes:burnout

Glad you got it sorted Liam :-)

Good news mate. Glad she is up and running again. Not sure about cleaning the exhaust. I think a nice drive out could be the best answer.

If you can park it so you can leave it running for say half an hour the exhaust should get hot enough to start burning the oil out, the odd rev is going to help as well.

thanks clive

lucky its windy where im parked so wont be too concentrated smokey smokey. Just pref not to smoke out the estate if possible but maybe no choice
