Default Re: Engine not starting - checked everything - no more idea

Michael,



From the last photo (#15) it looks like the valves are timed correctly. As Will N and other have said, check that the timing is not 180 degrees out by using your thumb or watching the valve action. Try squirting 30 cc of gasoline in the carburetor.



Do you have the throttle open a few clicks? The engine usually needs the throttle open a bit to start.



Beautiful car, by the way.
