Hi all, my series 3 land rover has been off the road for about 8 months. I have been trying to start her today, but she wont fire up. The engine is turning over, there is a good spark at the plugs (electronic ignition fitted) the fuel is getting up to the carburrettor from the pump but I have a suspicion its not getting into the engine. The evidence being the spark plugs are dry after trying to start her and don't smell of any fuel. Also after trying to start her a few times she let out a huge BANG (nearly needed clean underpants!!!! LOL!) I have tapped the float chamber on the carb but same happening. Any other reasons the petrol isn't getting into the block to fire her up??? Desperate to get her started as I am moving to South Wales from Outer Hebridies at end of Oct and have a very interested buyer.
