pour a little down the throat of the carbi then see if that get is going assuming you have a mechanical fuel pump and are having trouble getting it started, also add more fuel into the tank.

Yep, as Eggy mentioned, petrol down the carby, and extra into the tank. Other than that, you may have a dead fuel pump. The gemini's aren't 1300kg, they average around the 900kg mark. Cheers Smile

check the glass on the fuel pump pull the hose off and suck or point it down until petrol turns up the attach it to the pump and pour more down the carbi and fire the bugger up and see if it the runns on it's own.

other wise get a new fuel pump.
