was it running before you bought it or is it a rebuild? belt might've skipped a tooth ? check the coil resistor as well if its a s1 motor

on the fuel lines, at the height of the top of the chasis rail (in the engine bay) one of the lines should have a white line going around it (about 10mm thick) prety sure that is the feed line.
