Cold Start Valve
Having issues start up from cold. I've checked the cold start valve and petrol is being delivered. I've removed the start valve and turned it over and it doesn't spray. I replaced the start valve and still doesn't work

Where do I go from here

Its an electrical injector, check the plug has +12V when the starter turns. If not, then it could be the thermo time switch, this supplies the voltage for an amount of time, which varies according to the temperature.

The two red wires go from the alternator to the starter motor solenoid.
The blue wire goes from the alternator to………………the alternator warning light in the dash.
This light goes out when the alternator generates above a certain voltage - not sure what that voltage is though
