And she breathes again!

Rewiring finished.... Press the starter button..... Round and round she goes.... But not starting... OK, so the starter is good....

Half an hour bleedin the injectors... And press the button....

I sense a bit of life.... She's trying.... And then the marina disappears in a cloud of smoke!!!!!

SHE LIVES!

Running nicely... Ok in gear... Water coming out of exhaust fine.... All looking good.

Only problems.... No output from alternator... Not a surprise... So no rev counter either... Could be the excitation circuit, so not given up yet... And no water temp sender... Could be wiring too.... And anti syphon loop on cooling water has sprung a minor leak... Nothing that can't be fixed quickly...

All in all... A result!
