Check the pump relay (purple one) the connection's at the back of the fuse box.

Thanks, the relay issue seems ok, the problem or symptoms are fuel starvation, It starts on the button every time and will in the main tickover but only after its cut out and restarted several time, then it will rev but only once then dies, you have to keep blipping the throttle to try and build the revs up, when its been running a while its better but not right, when I got it it had water in the fuel so all the injection side was cleaned out and tank but not the pump, If you take the cold start plug off if wont start at all and stops it running

Blocked fuel filter? Did you change it when you had the water problem?

Yep new filter I removed the thank drain cover and cleaned out, Im not ruling out other things so any suggestions most welcome

Put a blast of compressed air though my line, in case a little bit of rubber/neoprene hose material has been chipped off and partially blocking it? inside the realms of possibility, maybe
