No, ignition is on, it's a Grid & I can see it gets the crank trigger signal as the green light flashes when you turn it over. Timing is set for 20* at idle, no coil bind, the springs have done a few seasons & I have my own bench spring tester to check them everytime they come off. Clearances were all checked, 0.0025 rods, 0.003 crank, 0.004 end float on an alloy block. Cam was degreed in at 105* centerline as it always is. The main change was I swapped out the carb in favour of MPEFI, done tests on that & the EFI is triggering, but the engine just doesn't spin fast enough for the Grid to fire the plug with plugs installed. Compression is not that high, 12.5:1 static.
