GT 40 No Start/Normal Cranking

First post to the forum from Australia
Have just serviced the engine, oil and filter, changed the transmission oil, replace the battery and when I went to start the engine the fuel pumps failed to energise prior to start. Engine cranks as normal.
Disconnected and checked the LP and HP pumps and they operated OK from external supply.
Earthing from pumps to engine appears OK.
The ECA and fuel pump relays have been removed and bench tested can be heard to click with power applied. 
Have ordered pumps and relays from Skidim as insurance spares, however would love any assistance while I await the delivery of the parts.

	Revisited the boat today and after guidance from Vince at DIM have established that the "keep alive wire" fuse holder was the problem and will be replaced Thanks Kev
