Have you tried some jumpleads on it?

Does it try and start at all?

How much petrol have you got in it?

Do these engines suffer from carb freeze due to cold or adverse weather conditions??

Other thing to try is put an old/good plus in one of the leads and then lie it ontop of your eninge making sure the plug is earthed and get a friend or anyone to wind the car over to check for a spark:thumb:
