have you double checked static and ignition timing, can you hear fuel pump priming when ignition switched on?

have you pulled an injector and see if its putting fuel into a jar?

hi thanks for replying, i have checked fuel surply and that was fine, i have taken off injector and i get a dribble of fuel out, nothing under pressure.  having problems getting the coldstart valve going, i have checked it and know it works fine but doesn't want to work when connected in and turned over. thats why i need a mk1 mechanic that can sort me out.
