Re: won't start
Re the violently vibrating engine when it does eventually start. Have you fitted those new leads in the correct 1-3-4-2 firing order?

Hello SB, S.U.'s are pretty basic, so you could have an ignition or mechanical problem. First is to ensure that the carburettor is set correctly, as you have been adjusting it.

Re: wet plugs
As has been said, if the plugs are wet then either 'no spark' or 'spark at the wrong time' are suggested, BUT have you checked that the wetness is indeed petrol and not water? If you get water in the float chamber the car will never start until you have removed all traces of it. If you are still ha...
