Try putting a little diesel in the ports and see if it fires up that way if you want or get a inline hand pump and draw it through that way to get the air out
 
just spoke to me dad and hes tried every thing i think i may just sell it i have just spent best part of £600 doing it all up as well as the cambelt pullys rollers and stuff also hids and tints wonder wot it b worth just to sell any idear
 
Why give up on it if you have done the hard work? i cannot help as i know nothing about soot chuckers but it seems like it needs the diesel purging by what you have said?
 
i know wot u saying lads but i payed 720 for it drove it for 2 days and never since seems like a money pit :( ill have 1 last try thiss week
 
It might just have a air lock mate that's why you can not pull the fuel through.
 
Get a inline hand pump and just pump it like your bleading it like brakes it's easy just don't leave it open while it's retuning
 
ill toe it agen tomoro see it it gets the ****** stared hopefully it will spring in to life i just get wound up when u spend 3 months fixing sumthing and then it dosent work :(
