smitzer:
I recently bought a 78 f2,it had stood in a garden shed for over 10 years,since getting it i have been trying to get it in running condition,i fitted a david silver elec ignition,new battery,new carb insulators,new airbox rubbers,changed oil,new plugs,i have spark on all four plugs,should i go back to points,i fitted the electronic ignition as per instruction and have the little red light on as the engine is spinning,it fired earlier with easystart for a few seconds,anybody know what should be my next step,,,,
Thanks in advance
Smitzer

Norniron:
Take out the plugs,pour some fuel direct into the cylinders.insert the plugs,be quick about it and burl her over.always works for me

LesterPiglet:
I would work with new points. you are introducing an unknown variable by using the electronic  ignition.

Bryanj:
If it's stood for 10 years and you haven't stripped/cleaned the carbs it won't stand much chance

Seamus:
Go with Bryan on this one. First job should be strip and clean carbs. 10 year old fuel will be like varnish in those jets now.
