Why did you need to fit a new fuel system?

common fault supposedly the filler neck was corroded on the inside letting water and rubbish into the tank therefore blocking the hoses and injectors and knackering the fuel meterin head which have all been replaced!

Have you re-adjusted the fuel mixture? Also, I've heard it said that they sometimes need priming. To prime it, loosen off the fuel injector connections and hold the flap up, while the fuel pump is running.
