S**T really does happen!
I went down the marina at 0830 with great plans, I fitted Derek's gift (a new filter with glass bowl) & I blew down the pipe again, & listened to the bubbles in the tank, & so I sucked the diesel back through & got 4/5 good mouthfuls YUK!
I connected up the pipe to the new filter & watched in amazement as the glass bowl filled with fuel thanks to the hand primer pump, followed by the fuel coming out of the secondary filter, success at last!
I cracked the injector nuts, & put a "live" to the solenoid as we have done all the week to turn the engine over, NOTHING just sparks. By now I have had more than enough, so next move is ti take the starter motor off & find out why it has decided to stop working.
I am losing the will to live!
