If it's going into the metering head then not coming out it does point to it being the problem, thats what i would be looking at.

Is there enough fuel in the tank ? cause i have just put mines back together after restoring underneath and put a jiffy can of fuel in and that wasnt enough to get the system pressurised and fuel to get it running

Default s2

it does sound like the metering head cos when you turn the ignition on and the oumo primes ive cracked off the main feed and there is fuel under pressure but if i crack off one of the injector pipes on the top only a very small amount of fuel if any appers. the fuel has sat in the tank for ages i think, maybe its gone off?? and i need to flush the system. anybody else had these problems
