>> Changed the condenser

>> checked all HT leads for continuity
>> changed the spark plug
>> tried another coil
>> dismantled cleaned and reassembled carbs
>> replaced the earth wire between distributor and engine block
>> checked LT wires to coil for continuity while jiggling them around
>> checked fuel squirting out of pipe before carbs while turning engine

>> cheched compression which is the same on all cylinders
>> connected the No 3 plug lead to a plug resting on the rocker cover and
