    New battery fitted. Engine turns over. Some fresh fuel added but some in tank already. When turning over for a while it wants to start bit just can't get their. Smell of petrol so its getting through the filter. Took plugs out and gave them a clean up but looked alright.

    Any ideas?

    The engine is flooded.
    Two methods,remove fuel pump fuse or disconnect injectors & crank it for 30 seconds.
    Refit & try again. If it doesn't start,repeat above again.

    Got it going today. Bit of diptane in the tank and new air filter and plugs. Took a good bit or cranking but she started and was grand after that. Id say it was just old fuel luckily their wasnt much in the tank and once the fresh fuel got through and the diptane it was grand.
