If its pinking, get your timing checked. Cars sometimes struggle to turn over if the ignition timing is too advanced.

You will need to check;

Your carb is set up properly and the cold start is functioning correctly
The electrical side is ok - ie. plugs, leads, dizzy, coil
Your engine timing

Details on most of this will be somewhere in the forum so have a search.

Good luck!
