2 ltre twin carby model.
spent the whole day on the thing and it wont start. the starter motor whirs and whirs while i turn the ignition but it just wont start up. Has brand new spark plugs and new distributor cap and rotor. The carbies where recently cleaned out pretty good. plenty of fuel is going through. anyone have any suggestions? i mean id love to take it to the mechanic but ...i ...err cant get it there.
only thigs done between it last running and it no longer starting where the distributor cap change over. when i tried the old one again it still doesnt start. i really have no idea what els to try.

any help appreciated

Go back to basics:-

12 volts at +pos side of coil?
Fat blue spark from coil wire to dist while cranking?
Fat blue spark from spark plug wire to plug/earth?
Spark at number one while at/near top dead centre?
Fuel in tank?
Fuel at carb?
