OK,
After many months of having my blown engine painstakingly rebuilt (new conrods, piston/rings/ crank reground etc) today was my first attempt at starting it, sadly it ended in complete failure, the dam thing just refused to start. I have a spark from both HT leads (albeit a faint one) and fuel in the tank/carb but that's about it, not even a glimmer. I even resorted to pouring a little fuel down each pot and kicking it over but still nothing.
I have today tried swapping the HT leads over, new plugs,. made sure the monobloc carb float wasn't stuck, checked fuel was reaching the jet at the bottom of the carb, disconnected the earthing lead from the magneto but still not even a twitch.
Does anybody have any ideas what to check next?
Yours confused.
