Pull the plugs and dry them at 100C in the oven

leave spark plug holes to elements to flash of fuel in bores.

Whilst they are out spin the engine on the starter in 10 second bursts of 10 on 20 off for 3 mins. (to fill up the tappets with oil)

Disconnect main fuel supply.

Buy some easy start

Test all plugs get spark

Refit plugs

Squirt 5secons of easy start past each throttle.

Try and fire engine, if it fires keep pumping in squirts of easy start.


If that does not sort it then the options..

1) your mechanical timing is out
2) your ignition timing is wrong ( chekc firing order)
3) your getting no oil preasure in the followers.
4) no compression
