Okay atm

I've changed my fuel pumps over again was VC to WB now back to VC

Okay shes kicking over atm and firing, but not enough to actully start her running

I'm currently charging the battery atm as i suspect its getting flat..

Any ideas on some other ways i could try and kick her over? I tried fuel down the carb but that didnt work, so now im on the battery case...

ps. my timing is perfect so no going there !!! ;)
pss. cant clutch, shes an Auto :D

if you have a spare coil (working properly) start there and work your way thru

i would defently get another coil even if it has got spark it might not be strong enough. All you should need is fuel spark and compression to start the car. if the timing is correct have played with the carbie? the idle screw or air/fuel ratio? you might flooded it if you poured too much petty down. that ezy start can **** is good for helping start cars

Is it a pionts dizzy?

If so check the point gap. That sounds like a probable cause.

Make sure you check your float level. Last time I did a carby rebuild, somehow the float level changed and the engine kept flooding. You have to be really accurate with these varajets and the float level.

Also, its probably a dumb question, but are you pumping or playing with the accelerator to start at all.

If you flood it, just hold your foot flat to the floor and keep on cranken. As a general guide to get mixture right wind screw all the way in and then 2.5 turns out. Those settings should at least get her running so u can make your adjustments.
