Re Plugs, its possible but hey for all of them to be fouled so none will fire is
low on the gambling scale, more likely is still some dizzy or ignition issue.
mmmm, curious re the "new" dizzy you got - how confident are you its ok
and how likely is it the old is stuffed... ?
The dizzy came out of a perfectly running car. The afm i changed was also out of the same running car. Now the fuel is flowing perfectly, have taken the hose out and turned on reds and it poured out. Ive set up the dizzy in accordance to the emailed sheet and accordance to the timing belt marks. Could it be that im not on the compression stroke ?
Decided to take out the plugs and found this on cyilnders 1 and 2 so far ....
will most likely buy new plugs tommorrow and see what i can do . Can i clean the fouled ones by any chance ? is my problem of startin the car half solved orr ??

yerp seems fully rich, light sand blast does wonders then a good flush
with petrol in an ultrasonic cleaning bath or if oyu dont like petrol use
some injector cleaner in the bath instead, marginally safer and more interesting
smells when it gets used a lot

If the dot on the camshaft gear is pointing straight up and the mark on the crank pulley lines up with pointer then you are without a doubt on the compression stroke.
Took out all the plugs, cleaned them with wire a brush and filed them. Re-installed and the car started first go. So i think the problem to begin with was a faulty CAS , and afterwards the fouling of the plugs. Appreciate all the help. Thanks
mmmm, Interesting, I have seen fouled plugs run fine unless they are a
colder grade. Can you confirm the numbers on the plugs.
The coil for the VL/VLT is actually a high performance item and provided the
feed to it is capable of good current the output will be quite meaty, so if you
have the plugs gradually fouling up over time it will point to either a weak
coil or the power feed to the ignition setup isnt able to support the power
it needs without dropping a few volts, due possible to wire corrosion...
The spark plugs arent NGK. The brand starts with an A or a S i think and is written in green. The plugs were pretty fouled by the looks of them. Also you could be right about the weak coil as at times i do find a drop in voltage, thought maybe could be a weak battery.
