Hi, my Elite has been standing for 4 years, was running perfectly before I left it to sit. Turned her over last week and she started in within 20 seconds. Left her to run for about 10 minutes before I moved her, then stuck her on ramps to adjust the handbrake. She continued to run for about half an hour. Washed her down, she didn't look bad, turned her off and returned the next day.
Turned her over, but didn't start up as quick as the previous day, took about 5 minutes, she started and then I noticed she wanted to die on idle, so i kept my foot on the throttle until she was warmed up. It looked like she was going to be ok then after about 10 minutes she stalled, then wouldn't start again.
She's got fuel in the tank.
As she had been standing so long i thought I would check the Fuel Pump filter(in the tank) and for rust. It appears ok, hardly any particle of debris in the swirl pot, bottom of Petrol Pump. The Petrol Pump filter, some of the gauze looked clogged, so I blew it out with a light air line but I think I've damaged it.
Anyone know the Omega B Part number, went into Vauxhall Parts today and the bloke said Id be lucky to find one of them new(Forgot to ask him for the OE number). He also seemed to think that Petrol was so clean today, that I didn't need a new filter. I have a new in line Fuel filter so Ill put that on and see what happens, but I would like to put a new Fuel Pump filter back if i can find one.
If anyone has any ideas where I can get one, great thanks in advance.
