Might need new plugs, try to clean the ones you took out and see if it fires up ??

I had this and followed the guide and it did work.
The FD does not like a short burst of life, you really need to have it running for more than a minute or so to prevent engine flooding.

Actually, that\'s not strictly true. Fresh engines are fine being started up for a few seconds. I can start mine, shut it off immediately, and it\'ll still start next time fine. Done this several times now. Not a problem.

i reckon that once you get it going have it compression tested.
