Having timed the points as best I can, and checking a good spark from the 'removed' spark plug, I put the engine back into the frame. It still doesn't fire. I removed the plug and it looks wet, and smells of petrol.

When I dismantled the engine after it not starting before, there was quite a bit of fuel in the crank case, so i am pretty sure it is getting through. I am starting with an electric drill. At first no choke and no throttle, then while turning added choke, then throttle. Nothing!!!

Any ideas?

Cheers, Camerart.
