- right yer!
did you fill the filter bowl up before screwing it on?
you need to keep repeating the perge cycle untill you get no gergling sounds at all (1st time i did mine did'nt fill filter took about 8 or 9 perge cycles to clear :doh
probably be 2 or 3 times if filled at least

The electrics prob was an earthing prob, seat box wasnt earthed properly.
As for not starting and priming... er well that might have been the fact that i got the fuel pipes the wrong way round on the fuel filter housing on engine side of housing, you would think that left pipe go's on the left and right pipe on right but nooo. Live and learn
Thanks for all the advice guys
