I got back from the nurburgring friday and it got me all fired up to get stuck into the saff again ,so i fastend in the new starter and the bloody thing still wont start ive been at this now since may its so close to starting but just wont grab hold ive been told because its been stood a couple of years the compresion may be down so to try and toe it and it should start.
has any one else ever come accross this before ?

 

I have come across it on cars before the rings stick and so don't develope much suck when the piston goes down.
Just put a coulpe of teaspoons of oil down each plug hole, then spin over for about 30 seconds, always works for me, if this is the problem, as it creates a perfect seal.

thanx will give it a go after work tomoz got be easyer than putting the wheels back on and dragging it round the block lol.

 

could be a number off things firstly i would check if u have a spark,if this is ok i would check for fuel, then u start going further afield like crank sensor phase sensor etc etc

 

check the inside of the dizzy the plastic can break around the king lead pin causing it not to start and back fire and stuff worth a look this happened to me, took me ages to find as it seemed i was geting a spark at the plugs but no constant enough to start it. good luck cheapest repair ive ever done on her!!!
