Failed to Proceed
We drove into the city this morning, as I turned at a traffic light into a side street to park the car had a splutter then failed to proceed. So I rolled to a parking space and did our hospital visit.
When we returned to the car I phoned the RACQ breakdown service and got a sandwich at the servo while we waited. (not being in a hurry I decided not to get my hands dirty)
We sat in the car and ate our food, while doing so I put the key in and it started so I cancelled the call out and drove home. There was a puff of fuel smoke when it fired. Maybe a sticky needle in the fuel bowl and it flooded while waiting at the traffic light.
Checked the heat of the coil when we got home and it was normal. So left it at that, no idea what went wrong. Will check the float bowls tomorrow.

Float bowls check out ok, needles & seat working as they should.
Does anyone know if the Series 1 has a fuel pump relay? None of Series 1 manuals mention one or show it in wiring diagrams. Series 2 diagrams for fuel injected models show one.
I found this pic showing one in the boot with the pumps, but I assume it's a series 2 since there isn't one in my boot.

Grant, the wiring diagram shows a direct feed from the change over switch.
Jim, thanks for the pic. The only relay I have on the firewall is the starter relay.
Well that pretty much rules out an obvious fuelling issue, both pumps are pumping about the same amount of fuel into a jar. I have used the car a few times since and all good.
I will just have to wait and see if it happens again.
