I have recently changed my 998 to a 1310 engine. I had seen the engine running before i got it so i know it should work. I had to swap over all the bits off the 998 over to the 1310 but i did get a HIF 44 carb and a LCB and RC40 exhaust system. I think it wont start because the timing is so far out but i have tryed adjusting that while the engine is turning over but it still doesnt work. If anyone has any ideas that would be great.

Got fuel in the float of the carb? otherwise it has to fill that up while cranking before the engine will start..

Got spark?

Yeah i have sparks at all of the plugs. I havent checked the float chamber for fuel as i dont really know much about the HIF 44 carb, i used to have a SU carb, but i can smell the fuel.

HT leads you have put them on with the dizzy rotating anti clockwise 1 generally top right and then 3 4 2 going round anti clockwise on dizzy, have you got a spark if so pour a couple of capfuls of petrol down the carb and crank it over if the timing is near it will cough and then try rotating dizzy back and forth a little at a time and see.

I will check the order of the HT leads tomrrow as im not 100% sure about that and i will also try the petrol in the carb. Thanks for your help and i will update this if i get it working or not.
