    You might be 180 degrees out and firing on the exhaust stroke. Have a look through the oil filler cap and make sure both cam lobes are pointing up when your number 1 is at TDC.

    After getting it to spark I've also pulled the first spark
    Plug out and got it to TDC it seems like it's + 15 degrees from where it says OT, I also got it to idle but everytime I turn the key to start and when it starts idling I release it and it just does out!
    Has it got something to do with the firing order?
