well so far this is what ive checked and the results are'nt good:down:
fuel pump-fully working order
fuses-all seem to be fine
spark plug gaps-set at 1mm as my log book suggests
distributer cap-bone dry and seems fine
ignition leads-nothing there either
throttle body-no sign of any water and cone filter's dry
cylinders had a fair bit of petrol in them but this could be down to me turning the engine over..
still none the wiser as to whats happend so i disconnected the battery and put it on charge ready for another poke about tonight
if anyone has any more idea's please feel free to help..
