Is all the piping connected up? My favourite trick is forgetting to connect the overrun cutoff valve pipe that runs to the intake piping.

Could be many things...

The only thing that I'm not 100% on is there is 4 wires that go on to the block nxt to the dizzy one on the back of the block and one under thr dizzy and two nxt to the fule lines and not sure if iv put them on the right plugs iv got it trying to start a we bit now but not running.

Hi
Clean the plugs out and try. While you are there, just do a compression check.
