Bas
it could be your points are stuck if you want a spark plug i have heaps of old ones or just wait and if i get a chance i'll try to drop in

69DirtyRat:
 Battery terminals?? Is the the engine turning if no....starter motor?

stanglover:
ok, engine is turning but won't start.
My patience got the better of me and I bought a spark plug, followed the Dr.s orders and there is absolutely no spark and this is a brand new spark plug!

Terminals are fine, I even tried getting a jump start from the neighbor with jumper leads and still no good.

stanglover:
so......
battery is fine.....
I did the carby test to see if there's fuel squirting in, and no problem there, squirting fine.
done the spark plug check and no spark.
