engine problem

[fairlite]

Hi all,

I have a problem with my Noble M12 GTO. I keep it around my fathers house. Unfortunately he has a Westfield with the same fuel filler cap as the Noble, He lost his and used mine and forgot to replace it or to tell me.

So the day I tried to go out on a dry Sunday it didn't start. On later inspection I noticed the filler cap missing so its had about a months worth of rain and leaves in the tank, I have drained the tank the best I can but it will still not start.

Has anyone any ideas

Regards

Phil

Hi Phil, i wouldn't try starting it up again. Perhaps the fuel filter is clogged and maybe the injectors too. I wouldn't try starting it up again, if i were you get it over to Jetstream or someone.

I have a spare fuel tank if you wish to swop... I suspect you cant get all the crap out of it.

You will also need a new filter, I also have one of these on the shelf but unlike the tank Id want something for it lol.

Have it recovered to your nearest dealer of choice and invoice your father

Drop the tank out the bottom and clean , flush thoroughly , change filter , flush pump with petrol , strip and clean fuel rail , get injectors cleaned and checked , take out plugs and squirt in some oil as there might be water in the bores and this could rust whole she is standing !!!!
