is that a big job to do, how hard would it be to change, im new to all this

Try a fault code check to see if anything comes up.

Might also be worth taking the dizzy cap off to make sure the rotor arm hasn't fallen off.

Do you have enough fuel?

Fuel pump packed in?

fast guy- ive been workin on the drivers side suspention, not touched anythin else, plenty of fuel, dad mentioned bout the fuel pump this afternoon, couldnt do it though cause it was chuckin it down with rain, i will check the fault code tomorro

if it sounds like it wants to start then you may have just flooded it! and you have a spark there (just a guess, mind)

take the plugs out and heat them all up over a cooker hob, then quickly put them back in and try starting it then, whilst there warm;-)

turn over engine for 5 or 6 secs then push the throttle down about an inch;-)

ive just done the fault code check and it car up all clear, 5 short flashes ansd then 5 quick flashes

check if the fuel pump is priming when you turn on the ignition, you may have to get someone to listen with the boot open if its the oe pump but you can hear a walbro from the drivers seat.

edit just read FG' s post:doh: :lol:
