Take a look at the rev counter . And then as you try to start .Can you see any movement on the rev counter needle?. If it moves it a good CPS [ crank possition sensor ] Find an old plug . Pull one lead off the plug ,pull it off with the right tool or you can damage it .If you have no tool pull it off with the metal part of the plug lead .Now put the old plug in to the ht lead .Hold it over the plug thats still in the engine .You must use insulated pliers as a voltage of 4000 volts to 5000 volts are in the lead This is why you hold it with insulated pliers . Or you will have a set of wings free .Look for a spark in the plug your have fitted in the ht lead .Do this as someone spins the engine over for you.If its sparking then fuel is the problem. The electrics will be ok . If your not sure about doing this , then get an auto guy to do it for you.
