If the clicking is the pump (easy to tell, put your hand on it or ear close) the fuel isn't getting through yet. It may take a dozen or more start attempts to get the fuel through if the line and pump are empty. Check the filter in the pump isn't blocked also.
What model is it?

Follow the fault list in the troubleshooting manual if you are still having problems.

Worked a treat.. just kept trying it.. tonight I sat in a lovely toasty camper.. I should probably get a carbon monoxide tester before spending the night with it on.
