Wont start...

Hopefully an easy one....75 bay window with 2l engine, twin carbs and electronic ignition. Hasn't moved much during winter as not worth taxing it but Ive turned it over and let it run regularly. Today it won't fire at all, it has fuel in the tank and the engine is turning over. What should I check before calling the AA?!
Thanks!

 

check you have a spark..........

 

Have a cup of tea and try again. Nothing has changed, you probably flooded it.

 

A tin of 'EASYSTART' is all you'll need ...

 

Is this the stuff he needs - only in OZ?

 

Only one squirt at a time, I know a man that blew the inlet and exhaust manifolds clear off a Caterpillar D8.
OK, he was desperately cold, working on the 'Dew Line'in the far north of Canada at the time

i do not agree with use of easy start, sounds silly but i think engines become "addicted" to it and struggle to start without it after a while.....

 

still no joy....

 

That's only Austin TX4's

 

Nah they are usually shagged to begin with and its an easy option for owners to squirt it in
