Smile It's starting, ideling...........and accelerating !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Peter........I can't thank you enough for your advice....put the rest of the bottle of injector cleaner in about 15 litres -worked out about 130 times normal concentration.......ran pump for an hour and pressed plate every so often to push it through the injectors...at first vibration felt in #4 & #5......then #6......followed by the rest of the fuel lines

Hydrolocked by fuel after all this (as expected).......but I was very happy the fuel was getting through the injectors

Changed the fuel filter.....added some gas...............took quite a bit of turning over, but eventually fired with cleaner still at ~X60.......lots of smoke........added another can of gas........smooth running & acceleration :p :p :p

Seems the FD is clear....and possiby some of the injectors..........'Italian tune' should do the rest with a bit of luck!!

Won't pull the injectors until I see how it runs on the road

Now for some more advice please

5ys ago the transmission fluid & filter were changed.......only driven for a few hundred miles before use ceased

Would you advise still changing the fluid & filter or drive it and see how it goes ?

Anything else I should do before trying to drive it ?

Thanks, thanks, and more thanks for all your advice and encouragement !!!
