cutting out after changing swirl pot

hi just fitted a new one to my clipper and took it for a drive , got 1/4m down the road and it died at the junction and wont tickover , there is fuel coming in and out no trouble but when i had the bonnet up and reved it , then let it tickover and die i saw bubbles come out and go up the return pipe , should i have bleed it somehow
cheers j

bubbles means you may have a leak in one of the fuel pipes, i would just replace all the rubber pipes as they're probably past their best. make sure you buy proper fuel line clips too as jubilees just aint good enough

ok liek i say replace all the rubber lines including the ones under the car. air bubbles means you have a leak letting air into the fuel which isn't what you want ;)
