xe non start timing out?

right had a right cafuffle today with my nova, the engine was running in my belmont on bike carbs no problems at all. Took engine out and cleaned it off and changed the pulley from a multi v to single v. Then put it in the nova, now tried to start it today and it wants to fire but wont, i have wired my igniton live to the + side of the coil and wired in my fuel pump with a igntion live. Now i have a spark an fuel up to the carbs but it wont fire, IF i advance the dizzy so that it wont bolt up (over advance like) it will just about run, but all it does either way is pop and bang! Have checked my leads 1342 all seem ok (if anyone has a lead order diagram just incase would be brill!)
So last checked the timing now the crank when on 6 oclock knocks the cams out anticlockwise a tooth! would this be enough to no start? I have fuel and spark? Sorry for the essay! any help more than appreciated! :confused:

Have you replaced the resistive wire to the coil, as it was a 1ltr originally, this could be the cause of your woes dude!

it has a resistor wire to stop the plugs burning out, also known as "ballast resistor"

by the alternator? sounds like the pulley rubbing on the chassis leg, it should also emit a strange grinding noise lol
