Fingers Crossed - first start after fiddling

Hold your breath, turn they key.... starter spinning bravely but no life

Try again.... nope!

check electrical connections, yes there should be electricity, I can here the fuel pump going.

couple of good squirts on the throttle first to get some fuel in there..

couple of more tries then a cough and black smoke from the exhaust. Yep, there's definitely fuel in there and possibly a spark at vaguely the correct time.

Few more tries with no throttle to clear things.

One more try with a brief squirt then hold the throttle half open and its alive! for about 1 second, gave it a blip and it died before I could catch it.

Tried again, nothing nothing nothing. Fuel pump starting to sound a bit tired. Ahhh! Battery is going dead. Lambda gauge says "sensor not connected", never seen that before. Check volts on battery and it read 11.9 so definitely getting a bit tired. On with the trickle charger overnight and we'll have another go tomorrow
