Check if there is oil in the barge. Undo your oil pressure switch and see if oil spits out when you are cranking or when it's running.

Heh. Sorry. I mean barge as "car". Sorry. It's what I generally call older vehicles. :)

if it turns over but doesn't fire most probably be fuel or electrics. if it turns out to be oil related it will most probably be all bad news I'm afraid....

When you installed your new carby did u check you timing? the rpm would of changed 4 sure!

What are ur rpm readings for idles? like what does she idle when shes in netrual and what does she idle on when shes in gear?
