If the inside of the induction manifold is wet, check that there is not a fuel leak from the fuelled starting aid.
1 Disconnect the fuel pipe and the electrical connection at the starting aid. Remove the starting aid from the
manifold and fit a suitable plug in the manifold.
2 Connect the fuel pipe to the starting aid, but leave the connection loose. Do not fit the electrical connection,
but ensure that the connector has a suitable insulator fitted. Operate the priming lever of the fuel lift pump until
fuel free of air comes from the connection. Tighten the connection.
3 Start the engine and operate it at low speed. Check that there is no fuel leakage from the valve of the starting
aid.
4 If there is no leakage, remove the plug from the induction manifold and fit the starting aid. Connect the fuel
pipe to the starting aid and remove the air from the pipe as shown above. Connect the electrical connection.
If there is a leak from the valve of the starting aid, fit a new starting aid.
