Common fault when metering units dont get used for a while. The seal in them leaks fuel into the airbox. Cant repair them. Only replace them and they are getting very rare.

i will go efi (one day) but cant afford it at the moment! just tried to start her today after fitting a different meter head and splutterd a bit but didnt go. 
took one of the injector pipes of the meter head and fuel was coming through but with not enough pressure? shall i just burn the car now or does any one have any ideas what it could be to try and save her?
