Look in the carb and push the throttle, if there is no fuel, it could be the fuel pump. Pull a spark plug wire off and check for spark, put a screwdriver or similar piece of metal in the boot and lay it near a good ground on the engine, crank over and watch for spark, if no spark, replace the ignition module inside the distributor. Need more help contact me through my board and I will try to help.

On one had you say it cranks and then you say it won't turn over. Which is it? If it cranks, then that means it IS turning over but just won't start. If it won't crank then it is NOT turning over. We need to know which it is to determine what may be causing this. Repost this with a better description of your situation
