with an engine not starting, start with the 3 basic thing's, air/fuel/spark.

you said you replaced dizzy, were they new or used?

have you checked plugs and wires and are you actually getting a spark? ( you saying you replaced the dizzy, did you put the spark plug wires on correctly? 1-3-4-2)

are you getting fuel?

think you should check these things first

well if you are not getting a spark then there is your problem.
re-check your dizzy connections, re-check everything!! including grounds. try your old dizzy.

so it started before. and now it does not start after you put it back together. so to me this says you did something wrong.

try your old dizzy, double check your connections, double check your spark plug wires and spark plugs. everything you did go backwards in thought about what you did, possible you missed something.
I have seen spark issue where the dizzy end of the spark plugs were not on all the way making no connection. i doubt that is the issue but check it anyway on both the spark plug and dizzy end.

another possibility, if you were getting spark with your old dizzy, put the old one back on. how come you put a new one on in the first place if it was working before?

thought you just said you were not getting spark, and in your previous post you said you were getting fuel. you need to read what is posted here, im willing to help and im sure other a\re to but if you are not going to listen there is no point.

if you old dizzy worked put it back and and confirm you are getting spark. i do not understand why you would change you dizzy if you had spark to a new dizzy that is not giving you spark....

what you are doing is creating more problems.
no pay attention


1. confirm you are getting spark, if not,put your old dizzy back on. and check if you are getting spark

2. confirm you are getting proper fuel delivery.

this is harder to help you because your posts are all over the place and dont make sense. you are saying two different things that contradict themselves.

that is one way, personally what i do is i take the fuel line off of the fuel rail and have some one prime and turn the key for a second that will let you know you are getting fuel forsure

and

if the spark is weak in the old dizzy, it could be due to the ignition coil inside the dizzy. easy replacement if that is the case.

although it is weird why the new dizzy would have no spark assuming it was installed correctly or is a lemon of course.

post up though if you are getting fuel delivery and see if you can figuire out if the new dizzy will work forsure and do an ign coil test.

gas tank is not empty is it?

well you have not reported trying any of the ideas posted to help you.
if you do not want to listen then don't expect anyone to help.

with how much a mechanic is going to cost you i can guarantee you could probably do it yourself. if you are going to be arrogant to wisdom and knowledge given to you, expect to pay the price.

re-read the thread, go over the list of things to try, go any try them, report back what you did and what the outcome was from them.

if not good luck to you

hes right, you have to tell us everything youve ruled out by troubleshooting. who's to say that someone wont mention one small thing that will fix your problem?
