Cosworth just backfiring on ignition
The car won't fire it keeps back firing - i did have this running about a month ago but recently just give up
new cps 0.8mm, phase 0.25mm, new plugs, leads & tried replacement coil and nothing - it has a spark and a good one but won't fire.
The only thing is the fuel was 18 months old and i topped it up with a gallon of fresh is it likely the fuel is bad or should i be looking in another area?
Timing appear fine as the engine was just rebuilt and everything lines up as it should?

Thats what i thought but why as the coil is numbered and the specific lead goes to cylinder as wasted spark
With all the timing marks lined up all appear to be in the correct position - the dizzy hasn't the arm and the notch in the shaft is facing the mark on the body around 1 / 2 O'clock - but the pickup on the shaft doesn't meet the phase. Should it when all others line up?
