Is the dizzy timed right with the leads in the right order?

Any signs of life at all, foofing and farting or just flat line??

not too sure about timing but the leads are in the correct order (same as they were when they came off), worst case its 180 out, and i switched ` and 4 and 2 and 3

how do u adjust timing???

Is it winding over ok?,hasn't got a crook ignition switch?, i seen this a while back with a
mates mini , he had to wind the crap out of it to get it to fire, i said to him that it should be starting better than that as everything was set right .
I stuck my hand inside the car and flicked the key and the bloody thing fired up straight away, i showed him what i had done and he just stood there shaking his head. I have had this happen before , ( years ago ) whilst you continually hold the key in the start position it will wind over but not fire, but as soon as you release the key it will fire, don't ask me what the problem is but it is obviously a fault in the switch.
Not sure if this helps , but worth a try .
Goodie.

cheers goodie appreciate the help but more i think about it its looking like a timing thing, going to try changing the timing after dinner

IT LIVES!!!!!

spoke with aaron (thanks again mate!) and sorted out the timing and it cranked, was a good 10-20 deg out, moved the dizzy and it fired up!!!

couldnt be happier!!!!.

thanks all for the help......and josh with the way i was feeling before something that could be thrown at the mini probably wasnt a bright move
