think i sused it out if youve got not much fuel will your car not start? if this is the case i think i flooded it. then when i put petrol in it still wouldnt start due to flooding. but i went home and left it for a couple of hours it started and blew a shit load of black smoke out now its fine!

does this sound like it could of been the problem?

vroooom ptssssh
