help!

[Retro-gone.]

cant understand this, the capri wont start, wont even fire, nothing..

all ive done is take camcover off, check tappets (which were still bang thier clearances) and refit cam cover..

ive defo got the ign leads in correct firing order, ive checked and double checked them, coil leads, condenser wire etc are still coneected , i just dont understand why theres no life there.. ive flattened the battery now so its on charge overnight.. this has totally bewildered me

[Mrs O/H/C]

have you got a spark at the points ??

[Retro-gone.]

yes, a huge meaty one.

[Mrs O/H/C]

spark at the plugs ??

[Retro-gone.]

yes, 4 big meaty ones, ive checked all the usual thats why im so bewildered

 

il go back to it 2moz when ive got a full charge in the battery and armed with easy start

[bomber1]

if u have spark it must be lacking fuel?

[Retro-gone.]

she started up this morn with a full charge in battery , bit choked up but i put that down to constantly trying to start it last nite, , maybe the 2.0 pinto needs more charge to start it? i could start my 1600 with 2 AA batteries lol,

[Mrs O/H/C]

Glad to hear you got it started
