If you have got petrol, spark, and compression it should start or at least try!
If timing is correct as you say and there are no air leaks then adjust the idle mixture screw, might need a little less fuel or a little more.

idle mixture screw

turbobill

il try the idle mixture screw tomorow
as for the spark plugs, they came from my old engine as they were new and they was fine in that, so carnt see it being that??
would the idle mixture screw not let it start then??

Have you def got feul up there? had same prob when Put my new engine in. Crack off all the injectors and crank it untill there is deff feul coming from each 1. as stated above if you got compression, feul and spark, and your timing is correct it shoud at least try to start.
good luck

turbobill

Lost me mate

turbobill

if im just loosening the injectors to see if petrol squirts through them, dont the injectors have a o ring and the copper washer?? if so do i need to replace them

tomS2-Rst

yes the injectors have O-rings but you dont have to remove the injectors. there are C shape clips holding in injectors do not touch these. just loosen the nut on the end of the feul pipe on the top of each injector. I think there 15mm. dnt take them right off just loosen them. then turn the car over and bleed all the air out.

once feul starts to come out tighten the nuts back up and re-try to start it. got it
give me a call tomoz if you get stuck.

turbobill

aah right i got ya now mate, cld you pm me ya number tho just in case i do get stuck,
but i think i understand now
thanks alot for the advice mate

turbobill

still not running anyone got anyother ideas, it seems slow at turning over, like the starter motor aint spining fast enough, but it came of my old engine which started up fine
