Well you are in the right place. Why won't it start? Do you have any symptoms or what sort of mechanical knowledge do you have so we know where to start you looking at.

Welcome to the forums.

Firstly, ensure you have petrol in the car, and that it is getting to the engine. Ensure the battery is charged sufficiently, and that the terminals are connected properly.
Make sure the spark plugs are clean, and set at the right gap (someone here can tell you what that should be!), and that they are firing properly. Also make sure the HT leads are correctly connected.

If it still won't start, it may be the timing, or another more technical problem.
