ok so here's the info
1978 mini 1000
at first i thought it was electrical,
but it stared using easy start!
There is no fuel in the pipe going into the float chamber.
i noticed there is no fuel filter on my car (it is ex-competition so maybe better fuel flow was achieved by removing it)
an using a stick im pritty sure i could here rust, or somthing, in the bottom of the tank.

So i have diagnosed a blocked fuel line or jammed fuel pump

has anyone had experience with this, is there a trick to unblocking it easily? best options

Cheers

Tom
