Hay, it's not about the car, it's not about the venue, it's about the people that come here. Peter Dwyer, Mayor of Hay NSW.

no dad tries but still nothing.........

could be a million things... do you have a workshop manual?

did I tell you that I won a trophy?

What have you got? Carby, engine size etc.
Try the process of elimination, is it getting fuel? a quick way to check is undo the fuel line to the carb, and hold the end into a container, have someone
turn the ignition over quickly and see if the fuel pump is pumping and not stopping, do you know if you have a mechanical or electric/electronic pump?
If its ok, then check for a good spark

Take out your spark plugs and see if they are wet and black, could have flooded the motor too

Tell us more about the motor as people have said and also what changed?
Is it a points distributor? Did you change the points or condensor? What happens if you try to start with no choke and NO accellerator pedal?

How long do you have to crank it over to actually start it?

its an 1100 cc inch anda half carb extractors disriutor with oints......... its getting fuel

Check your points gap, (I think its 15 thou from memory) and clean them up if needed with a small file or some wet n dry. Check for a decent spark next then

ok, so did you have a chance to try any of the ideas??

Are the plugs wet or black?
Did you change points or condensor?
How long do you have to crank it before it actually kicks?

Anything else change?

Peter
