removed all jets except the ones said and used compressed air for the others', not sure if i got the wires to coils right way round could ihave done any damage if i have . battery seems ok , got it to start on easy start only for seconds though ,and still backs fires. checked petcock petrol used to run out before now it dosent , manual said its vacume engine should pull petrol through.spent hours checking everthing , checking all wiring connectors and grounds now.

He's right. Make sure you can see the light through the hole. That gas gunk that forms in the jets can get hard as a rock. You need some jet cleaners or the wire from a garbage bag tie wrap. Make sure to twist it it as you push it through.
