Does it even try?

Have you put a timing light on there to check you ignition timing is correct?

If its firing thats usually a good sign that its not far off.

First thing I would try is to open the butterflies a little with the tickover screw , then try upping the req. fuel a little at a time untill it runs - that first start is allways the hardest ( ) and wont matter if it's a bit rich...........

Got the datalog of the start up but can't really make sence of it. Increased the req fuel steadily up to 30 believe it or not but didn't help. Really lost have read the manuals several times but no joy just feel someone who knows how to work these things it would probably start in about an hour or so
