Glad you got it going.

But if it ever floods again, IMO it helps some to pull the EGI fuse and crank it a few revolutions WITHOUT the leading plugs in place. It will eject some of the fuel out the plug hole. You can let it sit for a half-hour or so and then squirt in a little 2-cycle oil (some use PS fluid), reinstall plugs and crank to start.

Ok I refitted the turbos as they were leaking as well as the master cylinder and abs and now the car wont start

When i turn on the ignition the dash lights up but when I turn it to start nothing happens apart from the abs light goes off

Is there a clutch switch on jap models ?? i havn't bled the clutch or brakes yet

I have 12 volts at the starter but it wont turn and my earths seem fine

where do i go from here ??

Yes there is a clutch cutout switch right in front of the clutch pedal. When mine went bad I did a hillbilly trick but it worked. I suspected it of being bad so I unplugged the harness and stuck a paperclip in the plug. Boom, car starts so I know that switch is bad lol

I found the problem. The starter solonid on the starter was jammed. But the feckin turbos are still leaking. I cant understand why, I refitted them with the correct sealer and fitted everything to the correct torc. There is no reason why they should be leaking and it's worse than befor i refitted them. After the car is started for a few mins smoke starts pouring out from somewhere round the turbos and i cant see where it's coming from. however it doesn't smell like exhaust gas. Has anyone ever had a problem like this before?

This is a great place to vent my hearthake

Start the engine when it's cold and check the oil and coolant lines. If they're leaking it will burn off the turbos and smoke. Once warmed off it may be burning off at a rate that you don't even see any leaking, just the smoke

Not bad! Is the hood popped a little or is that latched? When I first put my vented hood on it was like that so I had to massage the latch bracket with a dremmel
