The battery was proper dead so I charged it up, still the same problem.
But now it sounded like it was getting compression all the time. I played round with the fuel pump trying to get the lines off to see if it was working, I squeezed a few fuel lines and a couple of vacuum lines on the carby. I couldn't get the fuel lines off so I gave up. Went back to the car, cranked it over and it was chugging but then it started for like 2-3secs then turned off.
So I went back to the engine bay and repeated what I did before. No luck... Then I disconnected a sensor connected to the vacuum line that I squeezed and all the fuel lines again and also hit the fuel pump with my pliers. Went back cranked it over for 10secs and it started to come good and then VROOOOM it started, I kept the revs up above 4k and lots of black smoke with a blue tinge came out. Warmed it up for a few minutes. Turned it off and turned it back on, it was running perfect. I connected the sensor back thinking it could be that but no different. It starts perfectly. Took it for a strap and its running great, really smooth and nice power.
Thanks to all for the help! Gotta love community based forums.
I am going to take it to the mechanic to have the carby and fuel pump checked. Also what is a good product to clean carbon deposits out of the engine?
In the states they go on about seafoam but I have never seen it in Australia.
