The only other CAS I have around is one from the old dizzy.. and I can't get the CAS out of it.. Cause the gold plate (Drew an arrow, the one undernearth:

won't come out)

can you hear your fuel pumps prime properly?

Where do you live man?

might be something to do with that burnt out fuel fuse, depends where you are might be able to come around and look at it for you

Yeah I can hear the fuel pumps fine.
I live in Eastern Suburbs, out Ringwood way.

Just an update if anybody is interested.

Took it to a mechanic. He got it going by tightening an earth, then shut it off & it wouldn't go again.
Got an Auto Elec to check it out & it ended up being a Fusible Link connection that goes to the battery, he bypassed it & she's running like a dream! Has a few new shiny parts now too :D

Thanks for all the help everyone.
