Thanks mate, TBH I'm disappointed that mine are right, I'd have loved an easy fix.
Better rename the topic to reflect the wider help needed.
Ok here's how it goes.
F7P,
valver flywheel,
1.4 crank sensor,
1.4 renix,
'hotwires' coil lead,
clio dizzy cap+arm,
magnecor leads,
brand new NGK plugs,
All earth straps intact and healthy battery/alternator.
It did run for about 10-15sec before, with the help of easy start, but then number 3/4 backfired and set the alternator wiring alight so I had to stop. Now it won't even bark up, though I can get a burst on easy start but not on petrol.
Fuel side:
Twin Dell'orto DHLA40 carbs on homemade manifold. Idle jets 50, air corrector jets 190, floats correct height. No filters yet, facet electric pump. Floats fill up correctly and empty with about 4 pumps of full throttle (~100cc!!!). I'm really sure it's ignition side.
Anyone spotted any glaring errors?
