Is there a cut out somewhere? > (snip) Assuming the M3 is a similar layout to the M2 and M4, there is a relay mounted at the back of the engine. There is also a fuse there. Both can give problems, as they are subject to vibration, and can also get damp. The cut out is electrical. On the previous incarnation of the M4 in "Copperkins", the cut out was "Apply voles to cut fuel", but the new M4 requires electrickery to keep the engine running. I think it depends on whether the fuel pump is electric or mechanical. The above is the standard set up, with Vetus panel and connecting loom. -- Iain
