Small update. The Volvo has now had the brake system vacuum bled. The fuel tank was removed & cleaned & a walbro 255 lph pump installed & new filter. Painted the tank straps & brackets to make em look better & last longer. All back on the car & all hoses are attached. Today I have flushed the power steering system all ready to go. I also put a new battery on turned the key & nothing no priming. First thing I did was to check the relay opened it up & put a hot soldering iron over the solder points. Reinstalled & tried again she's priming now. Just waiting for a new seal for the pcv a thermostat & oil filter then it's the first start attempt for 9 years.

Timing belt!

After all your hard work so far, it would be a shame to risk it just for the sake of skimping a bit of time and money to fit a new belt and tensioner!
