Default S1 wont start

fitted my fuel pump and then primed it for a while.

started the car but all it does is turn over go to start then just carry on turning over.

i released a fuel inj pipe icase of air, but the car still does the same.

do i need to get a tow and bump the car??

its not been started for 2 weeks whilst i sorted the pump.

cheers peeps

You shouldn't really need to bump it unless the battery is weak.

Something is still a miss if it won't start

Found the problem.

the small outlet pipe is leaking, the new banjoo is quite big and looks to have caused a split.

will have to order a new pipe.
