Can you smell petrol?, could be too rich/weak, an air leak?, fuel supply?

plug gaps might need widening slightly to crank the spark. the fueling, if u can figure out which way to turn the screws might need downing a tad, its difficult to tell from the plugs when the cars not starting, as theyll get wet in any scenario if theres no bang to dry em. id reccomend a gunsons colourtune kit to set the fueling up, if u can get your hands on a timing gun too, that'll need to be a tad advanced i think, as twin carbs dont have a vaccum assist for the dizzy.
