2003 c180k Won't Start
Hi all,
So the other day when changing the fuel filter, I was a bit rough taking the lines off and I snapped one of the plastic outlets on the top of the left hand side fuel sender. So today I replaced the sender. everything went smoothly, took the pump out so I could connect the lines up etc. got both the pump and sender back in and turned the ignition on and off a few times to prime. After a few cranks she fired, ran for a few seconds and stalled. Now every attempt after that has failed. Plenty of fuel coming put the bleed screw on the side of the engine (m271) but not even a kick, just cranking. So has anyone got any ideas on how to get it started? I don't want to take it to a dealer.
Thanks in advance,
Alex
