So I have the 1.8 L engine which looks like it was injection but now has twin carbs so my understanding is that the timing for a 1.8 is 4.5 BTDC but does that need to change because of the now carburettors? And yes I'm having problems starting!

Until you figure out and fix the fuel supply system, you’re spinning your wheels. Figure a cold start is key to on, hear pump whir, 3 full, kinda slow, pumps of the pedal, engage starter, when it starts feather the peddle a bit and it should idle for you. What is your idle RPM when warm? A clean engine bay is more fun to work in.
