new member here, im a member on other forums aswel but they are all useless.

so hope you guys can shine some light on the situation.

ok well this morning i started up my car, started fine as usual. i let it tick over on choke (automatic choke) then the car cut out. and wouldnt re-start.

details:

1989 fiesta 1.6s carbed.

today i replaced

leads
dizzy cap
rotor arm
and the plug are only a few months old.

got a lovely strong spark. car stinks of fuel so its deffo getting fuel.

iv dried off plugs and left the car for 30mins. and tried again and nothing.

i have taken the carb off and cleaned it.

its turning over, but not even attempting to start.
any help appreciated.
