It has had some incorrect fuel put in it we think? It tries to start and then cuts out on it. Is there a fuel sieve that we can clean out, as this has happened before too?
The best way i have found it to take the plug out and clean it. take the carburetor off and clean it with carburetor cleaner and blow the fuel line and filter out with air, clean out the fuel tank. put it back together and it should run like new. if you are having that many problems sometimes it is best just to clean the whole system. be sure the fuel can is labeled and be sure no water gets in the can.

Hi Tony, If the car ran out of fuel the fuel rail will be empty. Pressurized fuel must fill the rail before injection is possible. The pressure of the fuel in the rail should be somewhere around three point eight bar. Crank the vehicle for about forty seconds at a time and then allow the starter to cool. Repeat until the car starts. A better method is to identify the fuel pump relay, remove it and bridge the switching connections, but that can be dangerous unless you have a knowledge of electrical circuits. Regards John
