Captain Colonial Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 There might well be either a: FIA battery switch (big red key); or A fuel pump kill switch / anti-theft device;, or An inertial switch that got tripped by bouncing or shaking during transport - this cuts power to the fuel pump Does the engine crank over? Have you called Toybox? They might know something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikos Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 yes speak with toybox they told me that maybe its the fuel pump switch or maybe some damp in distributor cap that need a wipe . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rednop1 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Have you spoken with the transporter ? Did he have any problems starting or is there any special tricks to getting it started ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikos Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 nothing special just to find the fuel pump switch or to start it like carburetors cars press the accelerator a few times with choke out, this squirts fuel in to the engine and then start up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Everall Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Have you made any progress. Simple check of ignition required to see if you are getting a spark at the plugs. Is fuel pump running ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
