hi all
Advise please
As above
It has been running in the garage very good, but after running out of fuel i put fuel in the tank and also charged the battery, after which it refuses to start.
Checked fuel line for air lock all ok
Checked for sparks ok
Checked fuse to ECU ok
Can anyone give me some advice please.

Cheers
Keith

The pump doesn't like running dry, it can sieze, but luckily this may not be permanent, tale it off and power it up and flick it with a screwdriver!

Is the engine earthed?
