He showed us a good tip for removing the fuel injectors - unbolt them, turn the engine over and let the compression pop them out! No need to get the claw hammer out next time! Anyway, we found that the injectors are being provided with some fuel, but not at any pressure. I’ve whipped the fuel injector pump off Big Car again and I’m going to get a specialist that Bill knows to take a look at it.

However, having spoken to Shaun about it a bit, he did say that the injectors should all be checked before doing this again as that's only likely source of air intake. It makes sense really, especially considering they're going rusty. But yes, my right arm is definitely stronger from all the pumping action, so to speak.
