Hi
I have recently replaced the manifold and exhaust on my 1970 1275cc AH
Sprite - and now I can't get it to start :-( I have a spark, and fuel
and have set the mixture to the default setting recommended by Haynes,
but it obstinately refuses to start. It spins on the starter and
seems to try and start and then the starter motor disengages. Any
thoughts much appreciated.
Regards
Neil

Check for air leaks at every joint, both inlet and exhaust. Make sure
you've re-attached all hoses, for instance the vacuum advance line to the
carb spigot.

Make sure you have both fuel and spark to the cylinders.
Air leaks at the manifold can cause all manner of trouble.
