Not been able to upload to my megajolt yet due to my cheap nasty usb to serial adapter not working at all, going to have to try get an old laptop with a com port instead to keep things simple.

Have you got the fuel pump wired direct,as if you still have a metro oil pressure sender that could be a problem due to it working in reverse to the mini sender-and cutting the fuel supply when oil pressure is up instead of the reverse

I never have done this either, where is the airway? would it not have been cut out of the gasket already? Ive never had to do that before but ill take it off now if you think its that?

The holes in the gasket won't make a toss of difference until the engine is running under boost pressure.

Try running without the fuel cap on,incase you have a blocked vent and are creating a vacuum in the tank (would have thought it would take longer than that though)

yep theres a tenner of fuel in the tank. Will try dangerous' idea with the fuel cap, and then if that doesnt work im going to take the carb apart and look at the float bowl parts. I cleaned out the top of the carb and the piston and things, but i never took off the bottom plate.

Also I'd be careful with that plastic fuel filter, can't see that putting up with 15psi+ fuel pressure for long.

does anyone have a link or anyting on a guide of how to set up carbs, all i can find searching the internet is how to do webber carbs. Ive got the lambda sensor and guage so once it is idling ok that will help tune it too. Speedpro have written an entire book on this, well worth a read. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:

Oh right! just going down to town now to get some other bits and bobs so ill get a metal one if i can find one. About the redex, i didnt think it would cause a problem? I wanted the carb to have a good clean too, i really wish i could have refurbished it but with the cost of the reconditioned turbo i couldnt.
