Went back last week and took it off axle stands and rolled it outside in the sunlight for the first time in years..

New battery on (serviced the engine and replaced coolant last time). Fresh fuel and tried to fire her up. No go, tested fuel pump and worked fine. Found the fuel pump relay and pulled that apart and the tracking on the PCB was burnt out in a couple of places. Did a temp repair and soldered a couple of wires to bridge. Then relay worked!

Still no power getting to the pump so ran a temp wire from relay to pump and she fired into life (after cleaning the rotor arm). Engine sounds really good.

Ordered a new fuel pump relay off eBay (xr3i)

Going back next week to fit new downpipes (one has a small hole) run new wire for fuel pump and give her a run.
