In that case, it either has too much, not enough, or its happeing at the wrong time.

What's been done to it recently?
Did it run before?

Have you checked timing?

[mowgli]

go back to basics.

has the engine been running in this car already?

is the cam timing ok?

are the manifolds sealing ok?

is the ign timing ok?

are the carbs set up properly?

[Scottcooper85]

Sounds like timing as above

Chris norths old car? Maybe a trip to bogg Bros could be in order?

Nick.

[Craigy]

yes car ran in the car before, along time ago, ive rebuilt the engine, not really touched carbs though, they were set up along time ago and never touched since, good spark, only got the exhaust manifold on at mo, not the full system. just checking cam timing again now.

[meritlover]

so it ran since you rebuilt the engine? or it ran, then you rebuilt it and sat it up for a while? it could be loads of things, including the HT leads being on in the wrong order.
