did you check your side standard swich?
that coult be a problem.
choke cables?
airscrew? ( from the carbs)
ignition lock ( check the wiring)
powervalves are they correctly installed.

Tank breather blocked?

Open the tank cap and then try it.

Silly question you are not flooding it are you? . Best way to start my C 3 is prime , full choke, dont touch throttle , fires 2nd or 3rd kick. Tweak the throttle and ive been at it for 30 or 40 kicks!

Cheers for the quick response after whipping the carbs off yet again float heights good , aircrews set , clean jets etc then took fuel pipes off carbs and connected up to tank turned to prime only to find virtually no fuel passing through striped all pipes off t splitter and fuel filter only to find one outlet on filter had got kinked and fuel was not passing freely :oops: back together fired on second kick happy now !
