If you're not getting fuel from the injector, and the fuel solenoid valve is removed, then work back from there.
Check where fuel is getting to. If you are pushing fuel into the pump, and it starts, then you have an air leak somewhere.
If you're pushing fuel into the pump, with no solenoid valve then it would be an issue with the pump which can be diagnosed if you identify where the issue is coming from.
Should be able to pin this one down though, good luck
Hi Dave. Thanks for replying. Primer takes about 3 squeezes before it goes firm. Leave it a while and same again. Possibly weak one way valve in bulb. However it started with no hesitation until that fateful night, so I don't think it had air leak problem, before anyway.
I need to repeat some of the things I checked. Just to get my head right.
I noticed the solenoid had/has no obvious gasket. How does it seal against fuel loss and air leaks?
I'll add a pic of the solenoid.
Initially I tried to remove the rubber pad at the end of the shaft, hence the damage. In the end I had to hacksaw the shaft.
But there was no spring to force the shaft out of the solenoid. Is that normal?
Will have another look at the weekend.
Cheers Bri
