The outcome is that whilst I now have a spark the engine does not fire.

Does anyone have any advice on how to set the timing up and which plug lead outlet from the magneto goes to which cylinder?
Ive just bought a gem with twin engine, but can't find an engine number, do you please know where to find it?
Can you please let me have the address of the firm who supplied the points etc? I live in South Devon.
which plug lead goes where!?
thank you and good luck with your gem
