Check your got petrol at the carb by taking the feed pipe off and turning it over for a moment, if it squirts petrol you know its not that. Then take a plug out and earth it to one of the head bolts with a rubber handled pliers, if you got a good spark when you turn it over then its not that either. Just work your way through the engine like that til it starts ;D

if it the wrong coil as we had it usually runs for about 1 min then coughs + splutters + then conks out everytime. chuck leci ignition init as far better than points + only cost us bout £10 with postage if got the right dizzy for it

Not sure if it would stop it getting any spark at the points at all, mine had the wrong type when I bought it but it still started fine, it just wouldnt drive after 5 mins  |

if you have a vlot meter thingy, check you have power going to the coil, also check the fuses and give them a bit if a clean or a wiggle....if u got power to the coil, check the plugs are sparking...theres always the gallon of petrol and a match option though...lol

will bring a coil and a few bits with me
