Yeah what he says. Also, after enough failed cranking, you might have lost oil coating and thus compression. Try squirting a few drops of oil down each primary barrel. Crank a few turns. Then floor it and keep it floored until it starts (do not pump). It might smoke upon startup, but it will clear up (after it turns your garage into 19th century London
)

Verify that the plugs are sparking. If nothing has been done to the distributor to change the timing, then it may be flooded. Dump a couple caps full of motor oil down the small barrels in the car. Then try it again. If it starts then, let it warm up then remove the plugs and clean them off or replace them.

well i think im going to have to take off the front bolt to find out where to set up the timing since its a new motor. i hate to do that but i have no other way unless someone else nos a diff way
Do not take the front e-shaft bolt off. Why does everyone want to do this, it's not a piston engine. The link is in the the archives for a much easier, and safer way to find tdc.

ok well i found it, it says put the clutch in. does that mean also in gear or just push the clutch in. and once i do that i can take off the bolt and find the 9 o clock position then put the bolt back on and take the clutch out and i should be fine, is this correct
