My 1275GT will not fire, although turns over fine.

Ignition side looks ok with spark at the plugs but no fuel on them.

I have twin SU's which have been totally reconditioned and ready to go.

Fuel seems to be getting to them ok.

What has been done to it lately? Was it running well prior to this?

As Dan asked, what's been done to the car lately and when did it last run correctly?

 

If these are HS series carbs, have you removed the float bowl lids to confirm fuel is getting into the float bowls... not just to the hose connections at the carbs?

And also (less likely to be an issue) that the fuel is getting from the bowls to the end of the jet.

 

Had this once with a HS4 carb, took me ages to work out what was wrong...
