Again thanks for the encouragement and the suggestions.

Tony I tried to shorten 'converted to a '79 SC(outside panels and almost everything mechanical) with a Carrera 2.7 motor' so it looked wrong. Not that it's important but the '81 3.0 SC motor was a relatively recent conversion(~2010).

Also I didn't just replace parts. Battery was completely dead and replaced after I first tried to jump start the cars with wires. (And I now have a frame of reference on how old it is)

I went with fuel acc. because the 'symptoms' fitted and it was a problem that even the previous owner had so I thought I might be lucky and it was that simple. Since I did that I also changed the fuel filter that was an old item I'd like to change anyway.

That said I didn't test first the old fuel acc. before replacing so...yep I might have been able to save some money.

What I don't understand is why after the change the car started with the first attempt while all the last week I tried a 20 different times with no success.

What I don't understand even more is why after that it was impossible to start again.

I'm after looking spark more thoroughly although as I said...it feels like a fuel problem to me(I have zero experience with 911 engines but not zero experience about cars).

I also checked for some loose or cracked hoses or something electrical moved(a ground loose). Nothing. Car looks exactly as I left it 7-8 months ago. (If there is a leak I think the car should first run to have any chance of identify it)

* the iceman I think the fuel pump runs like a '71 since it starts the moment you put the key on(which shouldn't happen to a 3.0 SC).
