Default After 2 years i can't get it to start

after 2 ish years doing the under side i just try'd to start it with no luck, i've took the main fuel line going in to the meter head and none is getting through?????????????????????????

also the pump is loud, could it be the pump wires are the wrong way round ?? or does it not matter ????

Yea, as above, will only work one way so should be fine Mark. If its loud u need to keep priming it for ages first

And start it with the coil lead off to get the oil round

i wouldnt be suprised if the pump is goosed...last time mine went it would buzz when priming, and when wired constant...wasn't pumping any fuel thru tho...to be sure, take the pipe off the m'head or accumulator, shove it in a jiffy can or whatever and run the pump...see what comes out
