[Healeys] Mystery.... part 2

[Len and/or Marge Hartnett]

The wire from the coil to the cut-off switch in the trunk is shorted?  No. 
You have spark and you can crank the engine.

Float bowls are full?  Compression check is reasonable?

Next - butterflys not opening.  Throttle linkage not correct.  No?

Ah ha!  You reinstalled the carbs with gaskets that have no holes in them to 
let the fuel through!!!!

No?  I give up.
