Welcome Buggman, you have found the right place for help with your Bugeye. We have a forum here called "Spridgets" where Sprites and Midgets are discussed. Highly recommend you pop into that forum and post and specific questions there.

Hello Buggman

Welcome to the forum.

I am sure you will get plenty of tips and advice from the Spridget section of the forum.

Have you shot a drop of gas into the carbs as you crank it over or some starting fluid. If it fires briefly would indicate a fuel delivery or carb problem.
