Right so to confirm,
The flap moves up and down no issues with very little resistance?
When you manually lift it up, you get fuel from the injectors?
The plate(disc) is now level with the upper portion of the metering unit?
If so, fuel pressure really does need to be tested and if that turns out fine, then its likely got to be a massive vaccum leak meaning the disc isnt actually being lifted (through vacuum) when the engine is cranking.
If you've got all the time in the world this is fine, but in honesty this is the kind of thing that could be solved in about 30minutes by someone who knows the system as was standing in front on the car. Dont know if youve got any local groups or a friendly garage who could help out for a few beer tokens.

And yes i have all the time in the world , im not working just now due to the kids lol, it fulls up my time and i love learning it so really appreciate your help , i also moved area so dont know many peeps up here... would even post you a few beers haha.
Work backwards from the metering unit, check ALL vacuum lines for splits etc or loose jubille clips, make sure the gasksets at the throttle body and inlet are all good and that the inlet itself is torqued properly.
Would be easier to test with a running car, but guess we just need to work with what you've got.
Nice one, il get some work tried today was pounding down with rain. Is it ok to put the injectors back in? 2 more weeks and my tax runs out and thats its usage for this summer about 30 miles lol.

Got it all checked mate all good , gaskets old but really good nick and got all the hoses off although some were a real pain lol. whats next?cheers.
Also been removing fuel tank , keep getting air locks and my senders away so thought id bash on with it , how do i get this braided hose off my fuel tank? worried pliers might break it but is it just a wiggle it eventually out?
And this R2D2 looking device thats the fuel tank vapour valve? , i pressume its not meant to rattle about like mines? sounds like something bigs stuck inside. braided fuel line
