LOL

You'll need a lot more than ?4.50 in there to get it started again. Once the tank's run dry, it's not just a case of treating it as if it never conked out and there's only a small amount of fuel left. I can't remember the technical reasons for this, something to do with refilling all the pipes etc., blah blah. Put another tenner in it and it'll start first time.

cant see it being a problem with the kit if it is im screwed the company is based in wales and im pretty sure it wanna be covered under warranty because its changed owners

ive read on here many a time that theyre 180s once out of fuel take loads get them going again
You are still covered by the warranty doesnt matter that its changed owners.
you can switch the gas of manually then try it if it doesnt run properly then its not the gas m8.. best of luck muka.. Clive
