If you are asking me I don't have a clue! Previously I was turning the car over with the new battery you suggested, it was trying to catch but just not firing up.
As suggested by B@FINK I put the battery on charge, topped up to 12.7v. I thought I may as well check lines, hoses (grasping again) and thought I would pull a spark plug (vice grip garage technique) and see if anything there could be amiss. Plugs pretty good but stank of unburnt fuel.
Maybe previous starting attempts caused this, I am not sure. Cleaned and dried the plugs, turned over and fired straight up!
Checked the voltage across the battery whilst idling and getting 13.95 volts
