Re: Fitted a weber now won't start
When you say you have no spark from the plugs are you holding the spark plug near to the engine (use pillers to hold the ht lead) when turning the engine over? I don't mean to tell you how to suck eggs but just checking.

On my car the ht lead going to number 1 plug (left hand side of the engine near the cambelt) is the one nearest the engine at about 12 o'clock looking from the top. Then go clockwise to no3, no4, no2

Re: Fitted a weber now won't start
the vac hoses look to be in the right place form that picture. You said you can smell fuel on the plugs? I'd be looking for spark and compression, assuming you didnt touch the cam timing or spark timing when the carb got swapped? are the two earth straps clean and tight? one goes to the coil and one goes to the gearbox..
do I really want a carb'd valver? answers on a postcard...
