My car is 1275cc standard with stage 1 kit. from year 1992

my tank is half petrol left, and brand new battery. the sparks plug is ok. everything seem be in ok condition.

It just spin, can see electric motor whirring, and the engine turn over but wont start! the fuel seem coming in.

so far i broken the choke system, I kicked dent in my wing (its rusty anyway), and kicked the grillie ooops.
all this trying to start my car

bad temper + heat + trying start the car = big no no.

It has been left standing for a month, due hole in the floor

It was working before

it gonna be working tommorow when i take it to garage!

What can i do?

Ahhh my car is ok now.. my carb jet and needle was wrong. the float barrel wont go allway down and blocking the petrol.. swapped back. and my car is dream drive now.

Lots of thing to do before MOT.
