Default laid up tennis 3i cabbie wont start

any ideas peeps?
oits been sat for about 6 mths after breaking down
they said fuel and spent alot of money to fix inc fuel filter new exhaust etc
i bypassed the immob to give me starter, spark and fuel pump is now working and theres fuel at the meterhead
but still no joy

im breaking it so no real problem but course it would be nice to be able to move it and test the box etc, had to get it up the drive on the starter in 1st
here is a picture, i love half leather 'caros


also no leccy roof, any ideas on that? i twisted the thing to get the roof down but theres no movement by the relays or anything

cheers

found a little brass screw on top of the airfilter today, looks like a tight thread with a washer on the top
wonder where its from?

found the problem, tightly kinked fuel pipe before the meterhead and i expect the mechanics buggered the meterhead up as there were loose bits sat on the airfilter
